Xie Zhan’s left scapula was completely covered in blood. Part of his armor was missing, and all the flesh on his shoulder had been torn away. Even the bone bore five deep finger-shaped gouges.
Suddenly, the battlefield around them erupted into chaos.
How did Lu Yu manage to do that?
“His hands, his hands…” someone cried out in alarm, unable to finish the sentence.
Pair after pair of eyes stared intently at Lu Yu’s hand, then shifted to look at Xue Zhan’s shoulder.
No, this isn’t right.
A human hand is made of flesh, while armor is forged from steel.
Even though Lu Yu’s body had been tempered to possess the power of a half-star artifact, there was still a certain gap between a half-star artifact and the armor of a King-level cultivator.
Now, Lu Yu holds in his hand a fragment of the shoulder portion of the Blood War King’s尊铠甲.
This indicates that Lu Yu’s hands possess power exceeding that of a half-star artifact, sharp enough even to cut through the armor of a King-Zone expert.
That palm-sized fragment was incredibly fragile in his hand.
Lu Yu clenched his large hand tightly, crushing the fragment into a ball.
Everyone’s face changed color, including the face of King Richard, the Howling Executioner.
“This, this can’t be possible!”
A sharp scream echoed across the land.
This is the voice of everyone’s heart.
Absolutely impossible, this can’t be happening.
A human hand crushed the armor. Is that really a human hand?
For the first time, Xue Zhan’s face turned very pale.
The wound on his shoulder could actually heal.
However, this armor is damaged, meaning it’s broken.
Lu Yu threw the fragment in his hand to the ground, staring at Xue Zhan like a wild beast, and sneered, “Lord Xue Zhan, am I strong enough?”
“Not enough!” Xue Zhan replied through gritted teeth.
“Alright, let’s go again!” Lu Yu forcefully stamped his feet on the ground, concentrating all his strength into his legs.
As he lifted off the ground, he seemed to transform into a war chariot, charging headlong into the bloody battle.
“Am I afraid of you?!” Xue Zhan roared back defiantly, showing no sign of backing down.
Two great masters moved in unison, as swift as two lightning bolts.
Boom.
One collision, and the two instantly separated.
Lu Yu changed his position the moment he landed.
Bang!
The bloody battle had already unknowingly reached his side. A powerful punch slammed into the ground, creating a crater one kilometer in diameter and hundreds of meters deep.
Lu Yu’s reaction and speed were alarming.
The counterattack in the bloody battle was swift but soon failed.
The bloody battle’s strike missed, and his figure instantly vanished.
Hiss!
His original position was shattered into pieces by two invisible sword blades.
Lu Yu’s speed was actually no slower than Xue Zhan’s by even a bit.
“Without the power of a king, yet able to rival a king… Is this the ability of an uncrowned king?”
Many people were secretly shocked.
Boom!
The blood-infused fist struck Lu Yu’s chest, the explosive force sending him flying hundreds of meters away.
Snap.
The bones in Lu Yu’s chest let out a crisp cracking sound.
Bang.
Before Lu Yu could fully retreat and regain his composure, Xue Zhan reappeared above him and lashed out with a whip kick aimed directly at Lu Yu’s temple.
Lu Yu shook his head slightly, grabbed Xue Zhan’s小腿 with his hand, and slammed him forcefully to the ground.
Xue Zhan’s leg muscles tensed, and with a burst of power, he forced Lu Yu’s hand away.
Hiss!
The armor on Xue Zhan’s calf was torn off by Lu Yu, along with a large chunk of flesh from Xue Zhan’s leg.
In the span of a second, the two exchanged several blows, neither managing to gain an advantage over the other.
Quick, their movements were so fast that the human eye could hardly catch them.
The two of them were so fast that it was breathtaking.
“Get out.” Xue Zhan’s lower leg was in intense pain. He was furious, twisting his body mid-air and stomping his foot onto Lu Yu’s chest, sending Lu Yu flying backward.
Xue Zhan sensed that something was wrong.
Because Lu Yu’s power is very strange, surpassing any of his other abilities.
In terms of destructive power, it was even stronger than the combined forces of those area attacks.
Something was off, something didn’t feel quite right. Yet, he couldn’t figure out exactly what had gone wrong.
“Lu Yu, you’re indeed powerful. But even so, you’re still going to die.” Xue Zhan stood in place, his expression dark and menacing as he waited for his leg to recover, his voice cold as ice: “You’re strong—far stronger than those self-proclaimed kings under your command! It seems I’ll have to resort to my full strength to kill you.”
“I’ve been waiting all along. My strength also needs your strongest power to verify whether it’s qualified enough to challenge the King Zun.”
Everyone around was stunned.
Wang Zun has now become incredibly powerful, to an absurd extent.
If Lu Yu hadn’t fully awakened his killing intent, he would have been completely overwhelmed and defeated.
Wasn’t a king as revered as Wang Zun considered powerful yet?
Xue Zhan said he hadn’t yet used his full power; just how terrifying would Wang Zun be at his absolute peak?
The mysterious energy within Xue Zhan surged up, roaring like a raging ocean.
Boom!
Blood Battle’s power surged like a bomb exploding, and the shockwave detonated the entire area where he stood.
Then—
Bang!
A mushroom cloud nearly a kilometer high suddenly rose up.
In that instant, a terrifying impact force erupted, unleashing a massive surge of sand and dust rushing outward in all directions.
“This—”
In that moment, everyone was greatly shocked.
Everyone within a few kilometers was terrified and recoiled in fear.
This is a power comparable to that of a nuclear bomb.
Bang!
Someone was hit by the shockwave from the edge of the sandstorm and was instantly shattered.
That’s not enough!
The Supreme of Ten Thousand Devouring Powers already represents the ultimate limit of an ordinary person’s strength.
Several Supreme Beings had armor materialize all over their bodies.
However, the armor only appeared for a brief moment.
“Click, click…”
A metallic cracking sound echoed across the armor.
That armor, valued at tens of thousands of defense points, was merely grazed by the edge of the sandstorm’s power—could it really be that powerful?
Lu Yu, standing right in the center of the sandstorm, had to endure an immense force.
The Ten Thousand Honored Ones’ ultimate defense was completely ineffective; his skin cracked open inch by inch.
Thousands of ordinary soldiers were shattered to pieces.
The capable survive, while the incapable are instantly eliminated with a single strike.
Only Wang Zun and Wang, who had not yet reached his peak strength, survived.
They stood rooted to the spot, straining their eyes through the raging sandstorm to see the two figures within.
Boom!
One person was hurled backward out of the sandstorm, tumbling continuously across the ground, with countless skin fragments spreading like a spider’s web all over the body.
The man supported himself with his hands on the ground and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
“It’s Lu Yu!”
Someone gasped in astonishment, staring with wide eyes.
Even Lu Yu could do it!
After all, the opponent is Wang Zun, one of the two most powerful forces in this world.
Even the Complete Slaughter Awakening couldn’t withstand such power.
“It’s over, Lu Yu.” Amidst the sandstorm, a figure stepped forward.
His figure, not even two meters tall, gave off an aura as if he were a deity; even his breathing seemed to resonate and rumble through the surrounding area.
The air currents within a radius of several miles were surging, stirred by the aura of the bloody battle.
“Boom!”
Xue Zhan’s foot twitched slightly, with no visible effort, and he had already vanished.
This was completely different from the previous all-out movement; there was no burst of strength, yet it reached the extreme of speed.
Agu took a deep breath, shocked, and exclaimed, “Even with the full power of Wang Zun, he still couldn’t kill Lu Yu with one strike. This… this person’s defensive abilities are incredibly strong.”
As soon as A Gu finished speaking, a loud explosion rang out beside his ear.
Lu Yu’s body hadn’t even risen yet when he was struck in the abdomen by a bloodthirsty punch, sending him flying and crashing into the distance once again.
“Boom.”
Lu Yu’s body was still in mid-air when he propelled himself in another direction once again.
The speed of the bloody battle was so fast that even some of the Kings’ eyes could barely follow.
Lu Yu’s body never even had a chance to touch the ground; before he could adjust his posture mid-air, he was continuously struck again and again. The cracks on his body grew deeper and deeper, nearly reaching the bone.
The eyes of several kings in the sky turned extraordinarily sharp.
The Rebirth King was deep in thought when suddenly some information surfaced in his memory. He murmured solemnly, “It’s him… could he really be the Blood War King?”
“Do you know who he is?” King Zai Sheng said in astonishment. “Your Majesty, have you met him before?”
“No, I haven’t seen him. However, we did live in the same era. It was long after his death that I became a king. In our time, there was a human who trained his physical body to its limits. He transformed his own blood into energy, turning himself into a crucible. His blood burned and flowed within this crucible, and the faster it flowed, the greater his power grew. With his physical strength alone, he didn’t merely engage in battles against inheritors of killing techniques. He also fought against the Earth’s Soul Star Spirit, as well as the Blood-Crying and Brilliant Moon Star Spirits. His status as a Royal King was obtained through fierce contention with mutated star spirits. Therefore, in our era, we didn’t call him Blood War; we called him Blood Demon King.”
King Reborn Zun suddenly recalled that person as well and exclaimed in shock, “It’s him.”
It was said to be a terrifying human who pushed the physical strength of the human body to its limits. Even the king at that time could not match his raw power in a direct confrontation.
Human blood circulates within the body, carrying energy that endlessly supplies power to the human body.
It is precisely because he transformed his own blood into something so bizarre that he earned the title of Blood Demon.
However, his true title is “Blood Battle,” which means — fighting with blood!
It has completely lost the shadow of fierce battle in the battlefield.
People could only hear the thunderous sound of blood surging violently within the battlefield, like a raging torrent, yet they could not see where the battle was actually taking place.
Lu Yu was completely overpowered and beaten down.
Completely powerless to fight back.
Dozens of strikes, hundreds of strikes, thousands of strikes…
In just a dozen or so minutes, Lu Yu’s entire body endured nearly ten thousand attacks, with cracks reaching deep into his bones.
“Crush it for me!”
With a fierce battle cry, a powerful fist, brimming with confidence, heavily slammed onto Lu Yu’s crown.
Boom!
Lu Yu’s celestial crown shattered with a resonant crack, and his entire body—bones and flesh alike—was gradually being crushed to pieces.
Bones and flesh scattered in all directions.
“Heavens, even the Complete Slaughter Slumber has been broken.”
“The so-called invincible defensive ability can actually be broken through. Is this the full power of King Zun? How terrifying!”
People were terrified.
However, they were equally astonished by Lu Yu’s defensive capabilities.
It took a King Esteemed like Lu Yu over ten thousand strikes to shatter his body just once; his defensive power was truly terrifying.
Xue Zhan looked at the sky filled with blood rain, turned his gaze toward Richard, and coldly snorted, “How can someone like you, the so-called King of Slaughter, even qualify as my enemy? Those below the level of a King should not even be considered my opponents. What is an uncrowned king?”
He was wildly arrogant and proud, sweeping his hand through the bloody rain cascading from the sky, he sneered, “Is such an enemy worthy of opposing us?”
Richard listened to Xie Zhan’s sarcasm and coldly laughed in response: “So you think this is the end, Blood War King Zun? You’ve only broken through his defense once. The claim of Complete Slaughter Awakening is an indomitable will and an invincible body. This attack is merely the beginning. Moreover, you’re too naive. If his strength were really only this much, would I even bother reminding you?”
Richard inhaled deeply and pointed toward the blood rain in the sky, his expression turning serious. “Let me tell you,” he said solemnly, “this is only the beginning. Lu Yu hasn’t even used his full strength yet!”
What?
Innumerable eyes rose up from all directions, gazing intently at the crimson rain falling across the sky.
The Rebirth King and the Rebirth Monarch were equally astonished as well.
