Chapter 589: Star Soul Refinement Technique

A group of people who were once so arrogant that they dared not even let out a fart upon hearing the word “get out”!

You, a young boy, were sent to the execution ground as if, trembling all over, you cast a helpless and pitiful gaze at the people around you.

Several youths wanted to say something, but upon seeing Lu Yu’s face, they all chose to remain silent.

A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow.

There is no one in this world who does not know about Lu Yu’s coldness.

Even if you haven’t seen it, you must have heard of it.

Anyone who has been specifically targeted by him, aside from King and King Zun, has never been seen alive again.

When Lu Yu pointed his finger at the young man, the expressions of everyone present changed dramatically.

Yuki was also curiously eyeing Lu Yu.

From the looks in these people’s eyes, they could sense the fear they had towards Lu Yu.

Is this young man, who appears cold on the surface but isn’t truly ruthless, really that terrifying?

Having a domain, the ability of a guardian, and even a phantom demon!

Who exactly is he, and how does he possess so many abilities that others can only envy?

In her time, these three things had never been gathered together more than two at once.

The best time was when she came infinitely close to possessing the Phantom Demon, but unfortunately, time ran out.

“Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, I didn’t know it was you just now. I didn’t mean to kill you.” The young man’s legs trembled violently; his former arrogance had completely vanished. His face was now pale, with a deathly grayish hue.

“If I didn’t have the ability, would you just kill me and be done with it?” Lu Yu coldly snorted and said, “Get out if you don’t want to die, or else none of you will be leaving here.”

“Uncle, help me.” The boy looked desperately at the middle-aged man for rescue.

“Mr. Lu, for the sake of the military, can you please let us go this once?” The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stepped forward. “He is the only son of a commander. If you handle him like this, it will be difficult for me to explain to his father when I return.”

“Get out!” Lu Yu said coldly, his eyes flashing with icy fury.

Boom!

The demon raised his hand and struck the middle-aged man, sending him flying backward hundreds of meters.

Several young men, their faces ashen and lifeless, stared first at the Illusionary Demon, then at Lu Yu, feeling now a torment worse than death.

With the strength of over six thousand cultivators, he was actually sent flying with just a single palm strike.

The middle-aged man spat out large mouthfuls of blood, got up from the ground, and stammered, “Mr. Lu, you can have anything you want, but you mustn’t kill this person!”

“What’s it to you?” Lu Yu scoffed coldly.

Without him making a move, Huanmo had already arrived beside the middle-aged man and kicked him so hard that the man was dragged across the ground, carving out a ditch over a hundred meters long.

Just now, those young men were still full of confidence and extremely arrogant.

But now they can no longer feel confident.

The middle-aged man had absolutely no chance to fight back. Under the force of this single kick, at least half of the bones in his body were fractured.

This is Lu Yu, not only arrogant but also very strong.

“No, don’t kill me,” the boy stammered, his star weapon falling from his hand. “I didn’t intend to kill you just now; my target wasn’t you.”

“Pa!” Lu Yu slapped the young man across the face, his voice cold as he said, “You saw me clearly, yet you still tried to kill me. Do you think this slap is well-deserved?”

“Really, I really didn’t mean to kill you!” The boy covered his face, looking at Lu Yu in terror. At this moment, a deep shadow had already been cast in his heart.

In his eyes, Lu Yu was a demon, a heartless devil with not a shred of emotion.

“You idiot! If you still want to keep your position, don’t say anything,” the middle-aged man from afar said, climbing to his feet, only to be kicked in the chest by Huanmo and pressed back to the ground.

What good are six thousand supreme beings when they are as weak as insects before Lu Yu?

The middle-aged man wanted to speak, but the demon stepped down hard, crushing all the bones in his body.

“Shut up, or I’ll take your life.” The demon spoke, its raspy voice piercing the middle-aged man’s heart like a blade.

The young man stood there shivering and said, “Mr. Lu, I’m telling the truth—we’re not here to kill you. I’m after someone else. Not long ago, we received information that he was somewhere outside Fanggang City, so we’ve been searching here all day.”

“Oh?” Lu Yu stared at the young boy, his eyes continuously scanning the boy’s face, trying to determine whether he was lying.

“It’s true, it’s really true,” the boy stammered, his eyes red with fear. “We really didn’t come here to kill you. I honestly thought you were the person I was supposed to kill.”

“Get out.” Lu Yu was certain that the boy hadn’t been cunning enough to deceive him.

The boy was not lying.

The boy’s face immediately lit up with joy. Several other young men rushed to the middle-aged man, lifted him up, and began running.

Xue Ji looked at Lu Yu with great interest and smiled, saying, “You certainly have quite a few secrets. To actually have an Illusion Demon, which is a life form many kings would dream of possessing.”

“It was just an accident,” Lu Yu replied, clapping his hands.

“You got an advantage this time,” Xue Ji looked at Lu Yu with a slight smile. “No matter what, you brought me back to life but put yourself in this state. During this period, your strength and even your star soul are suppressed, which is actually the best condition to start anew. Your star soul’s improvement during this time will be terrifying.”

Yuki felt a bit envious of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu smiled as well. He was also clearly aware that due to his weakened condition, no matter how much he improved over these ten days, his Star Soul could only remain at the first level. But in doing so, it was as if he were digging deeper and deeper, laying a more and more solid foundation, with the final outcome remaining unknown to anyone.

Several pups were killed, making it difficult to find vulnerable lives nearby.

The two people searched around the outskirts of the city and eventually found two level-two lives in a very remote area.

In the following two days, Lu Yu gained a wealth of knowledge from Xue Ji, including information about advancing to become a King and even a King Monarch, which benefited him greatly.

Similarly, Xue Ji also learned about the structure and changes of this world from Lu Yu.

On the third day, the two parted ways.

Yuki has already reached level five. At this stage, she possesses the ability to sever the lives of demon lords, making it impossible for her to act together with Lu Yu anymore.

“When I become the Supreme One, I will go to Fanggang to find you again,” Xueji said with a smile, parting from Lu Yu, leaving a faint fragrance that gradually dissipated across the plain.

Lu Yu remained alone on the plain, continuing his search.

His period of weakness is still ongoing. If he catches his enemies off guard, a fatal strike can eliminate even a Supreme at the same level as the young man’s hundred Thrones. But if his enemies are prepared, even a third-level opponent could instantly kill him.

Weak and small lives have already become very rare.

Lu Yu was extremely difficult to find. He had now ventured deep into areas approaching the territory of a Demon King-level lifeform in search of weak younglings.

By the end of the day, he could find at most around ten young ones that were suitable for hunting.

If calculated based on normal progression, he should also have reached the level of a Demon Lord, or have around one million attribute points.

But weakness continued to overwhelm.

The initial changes were actually not very noticeable.

The fluctuation of the star soul was very faint.

As Lu Yu continued to bathe in beast blood, the consumption of evolution liquid and various medicinal materials also increased significantly.

The consumption within just three days has already reached a value of 30 billion Star Spirit Stones, and this doesn’t even include the cost of the evolution liquid.

However, Lu Yu also began to gradually sense the unusual movements of the star soul.

Even a first-level fluctuation of soul power would already surpass that of a Zun, like a mighty river.

“A terrible change,” Lu Yu exhaled, even startling himself with his own reaction.

On the fourth morning after Lu Yu began searching for prey on the plains, a shocking disappearance that would stir the world was reported.

On this day, the armored figure truly emerged from the Demon Hunting Plains.

He brought out two Kings and two King’s Venerables, along with a thousand powerful experts. When this force stepped out of the teleportation array and appeared in the UK, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

The next moment, the small country where the King of Hell resided became a battlefield.

The severely damaged small country was once again plunged into a major war.

The war among the Guardians has begun—it’s the first ever direct confrontation between Guardians in history!

Every country is watching, and no organization can look away.

This war lasted for three full days and nights. In the end, the guardian of the small country even summoned the King of Hell, and the two joined forces to suppress the heavily armored warrior.

The King of Hell exerted his utmost power; the king-making skill—Hell transformed the small island into a sea of flames. Within this fiery ocean, countless hellish lives were resurrected, forming an endless army of undead to counter the heavily armored warrior’s forces.

The flames of war spread from the city to the countryside, engulfing even the wild beasts living beyond the city walls into the battlefield.

The beasts seemed to understand as well that if they didn’t determine a winner, they too would be caught in the crossfire and perish.

Millions of beasts also joined the war.

Ten thousand beasts roar, a thousand armies scream to the heavens!

Lu Yu’s heavily armored warriors stood their ground against millions of enemies in the bloody battle.

This was the first time, apart from the soldiers in the city of Sijiu, that someone witnessed the power of the King Cheng’s skills.

That is a force capable of easily destroying the world.

On the fourth day of the war, the two kings of the armored warriors had no choice but to use their kings’ ultimate skills.

It became a battle of kings. On the sixth day, the guardian of the small kingdom was slain, and the King of Hell could only retreat to a corner.

The armored warrior and the King of Hell each claimed half of the small kingdom’s territory.

Half of that small country was a sea of fire, and the other half was heaven!

The sky was filled with blood for several days, refusing to dissipate.

All the strong nations fell silent!

This battle involved a number of troops that had never been seen in any previous war.

Someone who saw the desolate landscape of that country via satellite couldn’t help but feel horrified.

All the cities there were destroyed, and an entire nation turned into ruins. Except for the lingering remnants of the Xel’Naga mines within each city, nothing else remained. The wild beasts outside the cities had all perished in battle, and newly born creatures could only survive atop the ruins.

The entire world was shaken.

“Is this the true power of the Guardian?”

“That’s terrible. They’ve brought back something so horrifying, it’s just too scary.”

“If even kings can be resurrected, who can still stand against them?”

It was just one动手, yet it has already driven people all over the world crazy.

The armored figure absorbed everything from the fallen guardian, gaining immense power and becoming even more formidable.

And all of this has pushed the guardians of various countries to the forefront of discussions.

And in Huaxia, it was naturally Lu Yu.

Never fighting, never waging wars, he was far too calm, so low-key that he resembled a sleeping tyrannosaur.

Even so, no one dared to provoke Lu Yu.

When Lu Yu heard the news about the heavy armor, he remained silent for a long time before saying, “It seems this cooperation with him isn’t as simple as it appeared.”

“The Shapeshifting Star Soul evolution has begun, with an evolution progress of one percent!”

“Star Soul Body Cultivation Technique has reached 0.3% completion!”

“Congratulations, you are developing a new ability.”

On the eighth day, when Lu Yu slaughtered his one hundred and seventy-second terrifying creature, his star soul and star bone actually began to merge and evolve.

“Technique!”

Lu Yu was greatly startled when he heard a voice suddenly ring in his ear!
