The vast underground hall was left with only three people.
The battle between Luo Mo and Ming Zun had been ongoing for countless years, with only a final confrontation left to bring it to a conclusion.
“Lord of the Netherworld, one-on-one, you’re no match for me now!” Luo Mo snarled, “But if you want to kill me, I’ll kill you first!”
“I thought I could kill you countless times, and this time will be no different,” replied the Dark Lord with cold indifference.
“Okay. That means before I kill the God of Death, you’re the first stone I need to kick out of my way.”
“Same here.”
The power within the Dark Sovereign’s body began to coalesce.
When they truly saw the god, both of them realized the gap between themselves and the deity.
The insurmountable power suppression weighed heavily on their minds.
But since they became aware of the existence of the divine, they had already resolved to surpass it or die in battle.
Today, upon encountering the divine, their ambition was not diminished; instead, it ignited their fighting spirit, preparing them to surpass themselves and break through once again.
The Dark Lord looked at Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, this is a matter between me and the Demon King Luo. Stay out of it.”
“Okay,” Lu Yu replied with a nod.
The Sovereign of the Netherworld patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and said, “Here, you’ve already obtained what you were meant to get. Do you still need those soul forces?”
The Supreme Being of the Netherworld smiled as he looked at the soul energy that Lu Yu had unleashed in the final strike just now.
After leaving Lu Yu’s body, those soul energies recondensed above the stone coffin, forming a liquid sphere with a diameter of one hundred meters.
Lu Yu looked at those soul energies, shook his head with a smile, and said, “No need. I have already found my own path, and I believe I can go even further on my own. Moreover, although these soul energies originate from the Murder Star Spirit, they also contain traces of other star spirits. It would still be somewhat troublesome for me to absorb them.”
“Haha, well said! That’s the true inheritor of carnage,” the Dark Ruler said with great satisfaction, gazing at Lu Yu with admiration.
Luo Mo said coldly, “Are you done? Are we fighting or not?”
Lu Yu said, “Fight? Of course we’ll fight. But before that, we still need to collect the spoils from here.”
Lu Yu looked down at the ground.
The ground was littered with storage pearls.
“What a pity. The items within the storage space will perish with the owner, and no one else can retrieve them,” the Spirit King sighed. It was likely that the treasures they saw here did not even amount to a third of the total.
Both Aller and that general should possess storage spaces.
Fortunately, when the deity took away those thousand divine servants, they had already died once. Although their bodies were reborn, the storage pearls they carried had all fallen off.
There were tens of thousands of storage pearls on the ground, along with numerous crystal balls containing soul energy.
Luo Mo sneered coldly, “So it seems I don’t even get my share of the split. Is this what your era calls ‘robbing the robber’? Did you really think you could just kick me aside after our cooperation was finished?”
The Supreme of the Netherworld said coldly, “This is where we differ. This battle was accomplished by the three of us, so the spoils will be divided into three shares. However, you and I will soon have another battle. The loser will die and must surrender their share of the spoils. How does that sound?”
Luo Mo smiled and said, “Good idea. But if you die, how can I be sure I can leave safely?”
The Sovereign of the Netherworld said, “I will let Lu Yu leave first; no one will disturb the two of us. I believe that as long as Lu Yu has promised not to interfere, he will not take any action.”
Lu Yu said, “I believe Senior Mingzun will not be defeated; this battle has nothing to do with me.”
“Among humans, you’re still somewhat trustworthy,” Luo Mo said. “I believe you. Let’s collect the spoils of war first, and then we can talk about dividing them equally.”
Actually, collecting trophies is quick.
Lu Yu transformed into a hundred thousand black snakes, and within just a few minutes, retrieved everything from the ground.
There are thirteen thousand storage pearls, and more than a thousand pearls containing soul energy.
This is probably just a drop in the ocean compared to all the soul energy within the Nine Demon-Subduing Halls.
Luo Mo said, “Damn it, I should have spared that cursed general’s life. I bet all the soul energy is in his storage space. Lu Yu, you should have made a deal with the god earlier, making that general give you everything, including what’s in his storage space.”
The Supreme One of Darkness said, “It’s all in the past now; even if we think about it, it’s already too late.”
Lu Yu took out a divine crystal from his storage space and threw it to Luo Mo, saying, “This one is also rightfully yours—I won’t keep it all for myself. You should realize that with such items at stake, there’s no room left for negotiation between us. Moreover,魂力 (soul energy) is extremely important for the Nine Mutated Star Souls. He wouldn’t give me such great wealth just for a thousand insignificant divine servants.”
Looking at the spirit crystal, Luo Mo inhaled sharply, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Lu Yu, saying, “What a great item! Suddenly, I feel like I really should kill you.”
“Give it to me. It’s not the right time for you to have it now,” Lu Yu said, reaching out his hand to Luo Mo to ask for the divine crystal.
Luo Muzheng stared blankly and said, “You actually want my stuff?”
However, Luo Mo soon realized and laughed, saying, “Battling over this pearl would just be a waste of time. If I win, I’ll come find you in Fanggang later. If I lose, then the pearl won’t belong to me anyway.”
Luo Mo was very generous and threw the bead directly to Lu Yu.
The divine crystal can only be used once, although it’s worth as much as a life. But if he has it, the Underworld King can have it as well.
Therefore, holding the divine crystal, both sides are merely preparing for another battle after being reborn in death.
This is too much trouble.
One-on-one, the winner takes all, the loser perishes.
Luo Mo believed that Lu Yu wasn’t so greedy as to desire that divine crystal; otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown it to him earlier.
The distribution was even.
Most of the deceased divine servants were still humans from Earth, and on their bodies were mostly star crystals and various kinds of materials.
More than a thousand Blue Planet Souls, when divided evenly, left two extra pieces, which were given to Lu Yu.
Even with Star Spirit Stones filling over ten thousand storage pearls, there were still not many.
This Luo Mo generously gave everything to Lu Yu.
One thousand crystal beads filled with soul energy.
Lu Yu received three hundred and sixty, while Luo Mo and Ming Jun each received three hundred and forty.
After all, it was Lu Yu who landed the final blow on the Golden Armor warrior, contributing the most in the end.
The remaining parts were half-finger-length, cylindrical golden crystals that fell from people like Alar.
The three of them examined it for a long time but could only confirm that it contained divine power; its specific purpose remained unclear.
Luo Mo frowned and said, “Do you remember when we first entered the Grand Hall of Unified Demons, they mentioned that the losing side would lose one million divine power points? Perhaps this is the vessel that holds divine power.”
“Unknown object. It seems we’ll need to capture a divine servant to ask about this,” Lu Yu nodded, temporarily agreeing with Luo Mo’s statement.
The conversation between the two seemed to be carried out in a relaxed manner.
If there were any outsiders around, they would surely be scared to death.
Nowadays, the outside world is almost entirely dominated by divine servants; someone like Alar could single-handedly suppress an entire city.
While the three were discussing the issue of the divine servants, they suddenly grabbed someone like catching a chicken, just saying they would do it and then doing it immediately.
“I feel the same way too. We can ask once we get out,” Luo Mo nodded.
This kind of crystal pillar is indeed rare, with only twelve in existence.
Each of the three people received four sticks.
“Lu Yu, just wait for me to come and claim what’s rightfully mine,” Luo Mo said, rising to his feet with a smile and walking toward the center of the grand hall.
The Supreme Lord of the Netherworld said, “Lu Yu, you may leave first. I wish not to be disturbed while settling my old score with the Demon King Luo.”
“I believe the senior will surely emerge victorious,” Lu Yu said solemnly, bowing deeply to the Lord of Darkness before stepping back through the light portal.
This is the Ninth-Level Unified Magic Domain; it should be considered his territory.
Exit the Light Gate and enter the Tianmo Hall.
Here, stone gates still stand densely packed one after another.
In the realm of primary unified magic, he didn’t have time to observe carefully.
He no longer has any enemies now, so he is preparing to look around here to see if he can find anything useful.
Inside this grand hall, besides the doors that can be opened only by those with a ninth-grade Star Soul, there are also those reserved for the Sovereign.
However, Lu Yu tried many things and found nothing inside that suited his needs.
And most importantly, opening them one by one—that’s what it’s all about.
He would never know what lay beyond the stone door.
Lu Yu stood in front of a stone gate. As he hesitated for a moment before pushing it open, he murmured, “This is the grand hall of the Soul Master of Slaughter. Everything here carries the essence of slaughter, which is why it was transported here. Then why don’t I try sensing whether there is anything special within this place, relying solely on the aura of slaughter?”
Lu Yu gave up trying to push open the stone door and stood in the center of the passageway with his eyes closed.
The Star Soul of Slaughter stirred, and threads of soul power spread outward.
At the same time, Lu Yu focused all his attention on perception.
Before his eyes, a cluster of cold, shimmering light faintly flickered, like a flame appearing in the darkness before him.
This was a very weak glimmer of cold light, only the size of a small star.
“It can be perceived!” Lu Yu exclaimed in delight.
Then, more flames began to dance before his eyes.
These flames, exuding a chilling cold light, first appeared as tiny spots and gradually became more and more numerous.
Rows of flames appeared before Lu Yu’s eyes, merging into a continuous expanse.
Thousands—
No, there were tens of thousands of flames.
As Lu Yu released his soul power and expanded his range of perception, the number of flames before his eyes increased.
Moreover, these flames are arranged in neat rows, with each flame representing the item behind a stone door.
Some stone doors have two items behind them.
Moreover, the flames varied in size; some were as small as stars, others as large as a cat’s eye, and some even close to the size of a fist.
Lu Yu felt the largest one as a flame, almost as tall as a floor.
The larger the flame, the stronger the aura of slaughter he perceived.
The grand hall seemed to extend endlessly. Lu Yu’s soul force had already spread out for dozens of miles, reaching its limit.
But even so, one still cannot perceive the end.
In the realm of Tianmo, there should be a time limit.
Lu Yu tried to close his eyes and penetrate the grand hall, attempting to locate an even more powerful aura of slaughter.
However, he failed.
It was too vast for him to find the end.
“No, there’s not enough time left.” Lu Yu opened his eyes and looked at Sifang, saying, “Perception can locate powerful items, but not everything. Sha Lu was born for battle; why don’t we try releasing his killing aura, transforming it into fighting spirit, to activate all the items here?”
Lu Yu closed his eyes again and stood still in the same spot.
The killing aura within him surged.
Having just gone through a war, his fighting spirit had not yet completely subsided.
Now he quickly condenses his focus, recalling the battle just now in his mind. The aura of slaughter within him surges rapidly, soon reaching its peak.
Then—
Lu Yu’s soul power trembled. All the previously outward-released soul energy instantly contracted, rapidly compressing the aura of slaughter.
Boom!
Lu Yu fully released the aura of slaughter.
This is his domain, his world.
When his murderous aura was released after being compressed, it was as if a colossal dragon, hundreds of thousands of feet long, had let out a roar toward the heavens.
An overwhelming aura of slaughter transformed into a shocking battle will, shaking the entire hall with a deafening roar.
Boom!
Within this grand hall, countless auras of slaughter seeped out from behind rows of stone doors.
The air here is in chaos, filled with twisted voids and permeated by an atmosphere of murder.
“I found it!”
Lu Yu suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed three extremely powerful auras of murder, like a vast ocean, submerging a large area of palaces.
Behind Lu Yu, the wings of the Eagle King trembled, carrying him like a streak of light through the grand hall, drawing closer to the strongest aura within.
