Chapter 527: See It Clearly

The words of the eccentric speaker startled quite a few people.

Lu Yu had once transformed into a venomous dragon; his dragon body stretching ten thousand zhang was no illusion.

Many organizations have regarded Lu Yu’s transformation as the Toxic Dragon Body; how could it possibly not be the Toxic Dragon Body now?

Another theory suggests that they are humanoid. Even the demons and humans secretly treat Lu Yu’s poison as if it were the venom of a toxic dragon.

Even the Celestial Deity Organization is doing the same.

Lu Yu is too powerful and overly dominant; no one knows what the future holds!

After all, no one can know for sure whether today’s friend might become tomorrow’s enemy.

Now, as everyone watched, the strange-mouthed man’s body was becoming increasingly less flesh and blood, and even with regeneration, he wouldn’t be able to last much longer.

The eccentric man, Lu Yu, was incredibly strong; even after being tormented by poison, he still didn’t die.

His strong resilience actually made it hard for him to even think about dying.

“I told you, one move is enough. Do you still have any questions?”

Lu Yu said coldly, standing less than three feet away from the monster’s snout. The stone platform he had walked across was covered in swirling black mist, burning like flames.

He looked down upon the enemy before him.

“Lu Yu, hehe, your death is already near. If it’s not the Poison Dragon Body, then what could it possibly be?” The strange-mouthed man trembled all over, yet he actually grinned hideously.

Many people around gasped in alarm.

After being tormented for nearly half an hour, the strange-mouthed man’s entire body turned to liquid, his bones dissolving completely.

That star weapon fell into the poison, instantly losing its luster, with more than half of it corroded.

Even the Eight Thousand Supreme Ones are no match for Lu Yu’s poison! This… this makes killing far too easy!

Many people felt a tremor in their hearts.

Lu Yu had already grown so powerful that he could effortlessly slay even a Sovereign whose strength was said to rival ten thousand尊.

The eerie screeches of the strange-mouthed creature faded away, and the surroundings finally fell into silence.

“Whoosh!”

Someone let out a long breath.

Suddenly, watching Lu Yu fight felt like a cruel torment.

The humanoid stood behind with a blank expression, as if the one who had died was not their companion.

It’s over.

Seeing such a bloody battle right after entering here would surely make anyone’s mood feel heavy and oppressive.

“Let’s go,” one person said. “We came here to seek treasures, not to fight.”

“That’s right. Our time to enter is limited, so don’t waste it.”

“This land is different from the Demon Hunting Plains. Don’t miss this opportunity.”

Many people turned around and began to look around, already preparing to set off.

Zhang Yong was in Qin Hai’s grasp, and no one knew what information he possessed.

They also didn’t want to provoke a conflict with the King of Hell.

“How, do you really think you can just leave like this?” On the platform, Lu Yu’s cold voice rang out, piercing through to the bone with its chill.

“What, we still have to fight?”

“What’s wrong with Lu Yu today? His temper seems off.”

The crowd, who had originally turned to leave, all stopped and turned around again.

Lu Yu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, coldly staring at the retreating figure of the humanoid warrior who had already turned away.

“Lu Yu, what do you want to do?”

A snake person turned around and coldly said, “You’ve already killed the person; why stop us now?”

Another snake person said coldly, “The one who provoked you is dead; we haven’t sought conflict with you. Don’t you remember the agreement made with our ancestors? We have not provoked you.”

People around felt that the atmosphere was unusual; today, Lu Yu seemed different.

Lu Yu said, “You sent up a weakling to test me, didn’t you? You wanted to see my true strength. I’ll give you a chance—to see it even more clearly!”

As he spoke, Lu Yu beckoned toward the two dozen humanoid warriors and said, “Don’t waste this opportunity. Come at me together—I’ll show you all something worth seeing.”

“I’m sorry, that’s not what we meant,” one of the ape demons said, refusing the offer and adopting a submissive posture.

Now they don’t want to come into conflict with Lu Yu.

“What’s wrong? Scared already?” Lu Yu sneered. “Just now, you were all watching with wide eyes. Haven’t you always been eager to discover the upper limit of my strength? Today, I’ll show you enough. But—”

As Lu Yu strode toward the humanoid warrior, his cold voice pierced through the air, saying, “You must have the life to watch and the life to send the message back.”

More than twenty soldiers stood there stunned.

Lu Yu had already resolved to kill.

“Lu Yu, we haven’t provoked you,” a ape demon stepped forward and shouted, “What do you mean by pressuring us like this?”

“Boom!” Lu Yu clenched his five fingers into a palm and grabbed toward the Ape Demon who had spoken.

The ape demon’s fur stood on end. With a shriek, it arched its back and leapt backward.

“Think you can escape?!” Lu Yu coldly bellowed. Dozens of cold, shimmering blades flashed between his fingers. Each blade, wrapped in tiny swirling starry rivers, tore through the void, leaving streaks of blue light as they impaled the Monkey Demon.

Lu Yu clenched his five fingers into a fist.

Hiss!

The blades of carnage surged forth in unison, crisscrossing through the猿魔’s body.

The two-meter-tall ape demon had been twisted into hundreds of chunks of flesh that lay scattered on the ground.

“No, even the Blade of Slaughter couldn’t withstand it; there’s absolutely no way to suppress me, so how could I possibly need to resort to the power of the Poisonous Dragon? Hmm, I almost forgot to mention something to all of you. The Strange-Mouthed Man was wrong when he said my poison wasn’t from the Poisonous Dragon Body. Let me clarify this now: my poison is indeed from the Poisonous Dragon Body, without a shred of falsehood.”

Lu Yu smiled and took another step forward.

With a sweep of his right hand, the dozens of slaughter blades in the air connected into a single, ten-foot-long greatsword, which then lunged toward a snake-bodied humanoid.

“Oh!”

The snake man let out a loud roar, and bone armor burst forth from his body.

Clang!

The blade of carnage pierced through the armor, but suddenly recoiled with force.

The bone armor on the serpent-bodied figure had fallen off, leaving him clad in a severely damaged suit of armor.

“King Zun Battle Armor!” Lu Yu’s voice was cold as he said, “The damage exceeds ninety percent. No wonder you dared to walk in here so arrogantly—it seems you came prepared.”

The armor of Wang Zun did not seem particularly different as it lay there. However, when the serpent warrior put it on, streams of light began to flicker across its surface. These lights connected the broken parts of the armor, almost as if they were mending the damaged areas.

The snake man hissed coldly, “Lu Yu, originally we didn’t want to start a fight with you, but you’ve gone too far. If you want to fight, I’ll play along.”

With a flick of its tail, the snake-person’s body shot toward Lu Yu like an arrow.

Boom!

Lu Yu swung his fist and struck the snake-man. The Alchemical Combat Art within his body activated, sending waves of light spreading toward the Wangzun Battle Armor.

Boom!

Suddenly, the battle armor emitted a burst of brilliant light, as if the snake person had transformed into a blazing sun, its radiance sweeping over Lu Yu’s body.

Bang, bang, bang—

Beam after beam of light struck like war hammers, continuously battering Lu Yu’s body.

“Snake Bite!” the snake-man roared fiercely. A surge of energy erupted from his palm, extending outward and transforming into a hundred-meter-long serpent shadow that lunged toward Lu Yu’s head, its fangs bared in a deadly strike.

Lu Yu stepped back, raised his hand, and with a single sweep, a thousand blades of slaughter crisscrossed through the air. Above, they formed a vast net that shredded the snake’s shadow into fragments.

“What’s wrong? Were you surprised that you couldn’t dismantle the King Zun’s battle armor?” The serpent man sneered, “These are two completely different types of weapons. The King Zun’s armor doesn’t belong to the category of star weapons at all—you’re not even qualified to dismantle it. This unique weapon was personally forged by King Zun himself. Do you still want to dismantle it?”

“What if you have a half-star artifact, or even a full star artifact? The King’s Battle Armor was prepared by King Zun specifically to counter star artifacts. Your strength cannot shatter it.”

Lu Yu slightly frowned and said, “Is the King’s Battle Armor really that special? I just realized this armor is not only armor but also a weapon. I wish I had chosen a set earlier when I received rewards before.”

“What, what?” The snake man was taken aback and said, “Are you trying to scare me? You didn’t even choose the King’s Armor as a reward. I never thought you, Lu Yu, would be so strong. It turns out your skill in telling lies is also top-notch.”

“Do you really need to know whether he’s lying or not?”

Lu Yu raised his hand, and the stone sword snapped into his grip. The grayish glow it emitted was in no way inferior to the King’s battle armor.

The snake man’s eyes narrowed, his swaying tail stiffened, and his entire body’s muscles emitted a rumbling sound, as if they were about to snap.

Vroom!

Lu Yu launched his attack, the sword light stretching for ten thousand zhang, not only cleaving toward the snake-man but also his companion standing behind.

Boom!

The serpent’s body sprang upward, and the radiance from King Zun’s armor transformed into a blazing sun, hundreds of meters in diameter, colliding with the sword light.

Buzz—

The void trembled, and shock waves rippled outward, distorting the emptiness like waves, sweeping away in layers toward the distant horizon.

The sword light was shattered, and the scorching sun, like a meteor, hurtled toward Lu Yu.

“Can’t stop me, can you?” Lu Yu sneered coldly. Stone light transformed into gray radiance, flowing into his arm, while at the same time a battle axe, half of it damaged, appeared in his hand.

“Stellar Artifact!”

Everyone was greatly shocked, and many demonic cultivators had strange expressions in their eyes.

Boom!

The light of the celestial artifact split the heavens; the colossal axe blade cleaved through the sky, as if shattering the stars themselves, causing their radiance to dim.

The scorching sun clashed with the axe blade.

Lu Yu flew backward, and even the scorching sun was split apart.

Clang!

The war axe struck Wang Zun’s armor, and the snake man spat out a large mouthful of blood, flying into the air.

The armor remained unscathed, its surface shimmering like flowing water, shattering the immense impact force.

“Good, the star artifact has been blocked, so let’s switch to another one.” Lu Yu raised his hand and put away the star artifact.

Boom.

Tens of thousands of blades of slaughter gleamed in the sky, forming a colossal sword hundreds of feet long that cleaved downward.

The Star Artifact is powerful, but the Blade of Slaughter possesses unparalleled destructive force.

Clang—

Tens of thousands of blades of slaughter were all deflected upward.

The snake man shook open his giant sword, and his fist fiercely slammed toward Lu Yu’s chest.

Vroom!

On the other side, a battle sword was suddenly thrust across.

The war blade emitted a purple glow, with the light resembling lightning.

“Enough.” Standing between the two, Qin Hai’s voice was cold as he said, “We came here to seek treasures, not to waste time like this.”

“Qin Hai, do you want to stop me?” Lu Yu said coldly, “How come my affairs need someone else’s interference now?”

Qin Hai sneered coldly, “Lu Yu, just because others fear you doesn’t mean I do. If you want to deliver intelligence, then go to the city of the humanoid race. Why stay here?”

“That’s right,” a Parasite Demon nodded from behind. “Everyone here is seeking treasures, not conflict. I think the humanoid race doesn’t have the strength to fight against you either.”

The leader of the Reincarnated Demons coldly said, “I think he’s using this opportunity to eliminate threats. When the time comes to seize the treasure, having one less faction will increase our chances of victory.”

“If you dare to make another move, Lu Yu, don’t blame me for taking action too,” the Rebirth Demon sneered.

“When did my affairs become something you dare to interfere with?” Lu Yu turned his head slightly, his icy gaze sweeping from Qin Hai, past the Parasitic Demon Body, and finally settling on the Parasitic Demon itself.

On the other side, a demon folded his arms and watched the battle from a distance, saying, “It was hard enough getting in here. Fighting here is just wasting everyone’s time. Mr. Lu, stop. Do you want to show off your power? Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

As the demon spoke, a slow release of power emanated from his body.

The surrounding void emitted a rustling sound, as if he had merged with it entirely. His figure clearly stood in place, yet he appeared distorted, like a ghost.

“Wang Zun!” One of the Celestial Deity Organization was greatly shocked, thinking of some descriptions.

“King Zun? Too bad you’re not a true King Zun yet. Even if the real King Zun stood before me, do you think I would be afraid?”

“Uh!”

The people at the scene were greatly shocked and stared at Lu Yu with wide eyes.

What’s wrong with Lu Yu today? Is he going to start a massacre or intimidate everyone around?
