Chapter 487: Countdown to Destruction (3)

The Juling Clan, a race of colossal beings whose adults can reach a hundred zhang in height.

The people of the Juling Clan appear no different from ordinary humans.

But they are bloodthirsty and love to eat humans the most.

The era in which the Giants existed was an apocalyptic time for humans and other living beings.

During that period, humans could only hide underground, living a life devoid of daylight.

However, the Jiling people are not only bloodthirsty but also have an extremely keen sense of smell.

Even if humans live underground, they can still come out.

They may not have any other abilities, but they possess immense strength and incredibly thick skin.

The Jiling race is born with a height of ten zhang, and each newborn possesses the strength of a thousand warriors. They can devour a hundred humans and various beasts in a single meal.

The giant Juling clan becomes even more terrifying as they grow.

Adult Jīnglín have armor on their bodies similar to that of the Serpent Clan. Once they sustain damage that cannot be repaired, the damaged sections of the armor will automatically detach before the injury can reach their actual bodies.

Humans were oppressed in an extremely brutal environment, with countless numbers of them being raised like livestock by the Jiling people in cities, destined to be food.

Humans were nearly driven to extinction.

However, the absence of natural enemies among the Jiling people eventually led to their arrogance and hubris.

Their adult Jailing tribesmen already possess the strength of ten thousand zuns, reaching the peak of their power. Their strength automatically increases as they grow, so they don’t even need to cultivate.

But they still underestimated the situation.

Humanity finally began its counterattack.

Ling Wang was one of the humans born in that era.

He watched as his parents and family were captured and devoured, and his hatred became the driving force that pushed him to become stronger.

Wang Zun, the woman who was with Ling Wang, was also his wife.

King Ling was like a madman, squeezing every ounce of his power within an extremely short period of time.

Breakthrough, and then another breakthrough.

He ultimately became the king at the cost of his own life.

The catastrophic disaster that the Jiling Clan encountered after that.

The power of ten thousand Zuns is regarded as mere ants by the King Zun and the King.

After that, the Giants were slaughtered without a single survivor, allowing humans to finally develop and thrive.

However, the Spirit King had exhausted too much of his vitality, and after destroying the Giants, he chose to enter a deep slumber.

And his wife would also lie beside him and fall asleep together with him.

If it weren’t for the Indians making noise, the two of them wouldn’t have woken up.

And now, as soon as Lu Yu saw this giant palm, he immediately thought of the Jiling Clan.

When it extended outward, more than 500,000 whirlpools had already opened around it.

Countless people leaped out from the vortex.

One by one, ferocious faces; pair by pair, eyes filled with murderous intent—each gaze feels as heavy as a mountain pressing down on one’s back.

Boom!

Fifty thousand warriors—the number alone nearly stopped Lu Yu’s heart from beating.

The number of people is increasing exponentially, and the pressure is not just doubling—it’s increasing tenfold, even dozens of times.

This pressure had already caused Lu Yu’s joints to emit cracking sounds, as if they were about to break.

“Lu Yu, are you satisfied with the number of people this time?” Lu Tianming roared with laughter: “If one person can’t kill you, then what about all these people?”

On the earth, people are like an ocean.

People kept falling like dumplings being dropped into a pot, amidst the swirling vortex of the sky.

Tens of thousands of people appeared directly above Lu Yu’s head.

“Kill!”

Lu Yu’s deep and icy voice bellowed a stern command. The poisonous waves unleashed by his palms surged forward like a tsunami, one after another.

Thousands of people were swallowed up.

But more people also crossed the toxic waves.

A continuous barrage of energy waves and skills, like a heavy rainstorm, enveloped Lu Yu’s body.

All skills erupted together, shining with a blinding radiance like the scorching sun.

Lu Yu’s body was shattered, sending sprays of blood flying in all directions, staining the dark void with crimson.

“The taste of meat… human flesh. Ah—” Behind that giant palm, a figure finally emerged completely from the shadows.

A giant one hundred feet tall appeared, wearing only an animal hide around his waist. His large hands were rough, with deep creases like knives.

As soon as he appeared, he had already fixed his gaze on the humans and beasts on the ground.

Before the humans around the giant could even react, the colossal being had already swept both hands across the ground, scooping up hundreds of people with its enormous palms.

The giant didn’t even think twice before tossing these people into his mouth, like a madman who hadn’t tasted meat in countless years, chewing them with a crunching sound.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, while the giant’s eyes gleamed with an excited and thirsty light.

“Delicious, delicious.”

The giant threw all the humans in his other hand into his mouth, and then, with excitement, fixed his gaze back on the remaining humans.

On the other side, Lu Yu had already stood up. Suddenly, he grabbed out the Half-Star Artifact and brushed his hand over the stone sword.

Poisonous flames rose from the stone sword.

Boom!

Lu Yu gripped his sword with both hands and swung it fiercely forward in a powerful strike.

The stone sword’s blade light extended for ten thousand zhang, and the toxic flames also stretched for ten thousand zhang.

It was as if a black heavenly blade had split the sky and slashed down toward the earth. Upon touching the ground, the blade’s light engulfed tens of thousands of people within a ten-thousand-zhang diameter in black flames.

“Eat, I eat.” The giant was still eating.

Lu Yu listened as the Spirit King recounted how he had destroyed the Giants, and all the people of the Giant clan were driven to the icy, lifeless lands.

Depriving them of any means of survival meant watching these cannibalistic creatures suffer in agony.

Where there was no food or water, the Juling people even began to devour their own kind.

King Ling coldly guarded the only escape route from the frozen wasteland, slaying any member of the Giants who attempted to flee.

In the end, all the Jaling people in the frigid land, driven mad by hunger and thirst, launched a final assault on the Spirit King.

Moreover, it was the scent of human flesh on the Spirit King himself that attracted them, giving them a final chance to go疯狂.

It seems this is a member of the Jaling tribe who perished from hunger and thirst.

He has already devoured nearly a thousand people, yet he continues to throw humans into his mouth as if he never feels full.

“This is a madman; let’s kill him first.”

Tens of thousands of people watched as the giant clans went berserk, devouring humans as if addicted to opium, completely disregarding their surroundings. Blood and bits of flesh spewed from their mouths, creating a horrifying scene that filled onlookers with rage.

One Lu Yu was enough; no one had expected the addition of such a cannibal.

Boom! One skill after another swept across the giant’s body.

Bang…

The giant warrior’s skin instantly hardened, with massive, horn-like plates, each about ten feet in size, protruding from his body to block the incoming attack.

Some of the keratin was crushed and would fall off immediately, and beneath the shed keratin, new keratin was already growing.

The giant seemed completely unaware of being attacked, focusing only on the humans before him.

With equal strength, the Juling Clan’s defense had the upper hand.

Once again, hundreds of people were thrown into his mouth.

“Delicious, delicious!” The giant grew stronger with each bite, and his movements became faster and faster.

Many people and demons were retreating. They had realized it was a cannibalistic madman.

“I’ll handle this. You go and kill Lu Yu,” the Demon Ancestor said, taking action in person.

If this giant keeps stirring things up, I’m afraid they’ll have revived for nothing once again.

He leaped into the air, his giant hand swiftly descending to strike the top of the colossal head.

Wang Zhi Li, this is not an ordinary power.

The body of the Devil Ancestor was not tall or imposing.

But when his palm pressed down on the giant’s head, the giant’s body was instantly forced to bend, and its head slammed violently into the ground.

The human who had just been grabbed by the giant also escaped.

“I’ll eat you!” The giant, seeing his prey escape, slammed his hands on the ground and, glaring at the Demon Ancestor who had just landed, swiped at him with a single mighty slap.

The Devil Ancestor cursed furiously, “Damn it, you’ve got to be reasonable! If we want to survive now, we must kill that person. You can’t just eat anyone you please!”

Boom!

With a single palm strike, the giant sent the Demon Ancestor flying.

“I don’t care; whoever interrupts me while I’m eating, I’ll kill them.”

The giant stopped eating and fiercely stomped his huge feet on the ground, rushing toward the Demon Ancestor.

“Haha!”

Lu Yu burst into laughter and said, “Ancestor of Demons, thank you for helping me fend off a powerful opponent.”

“Lu Yu, save your breath. I killed him, and you’re next.” The Demon Ancestor, of all beings, being slain by Lu Yu was already humiliating enough.

Even an ordinary Zun revived at random these days dares to treat him this way. Is there any majesty left in his kingship?

At this moment, Lu Yu was also attacked by hundreds of thousands of skills.

After dying countless times, these people have also developed some form of organization.

The division between offense and defense has already begun.

If there is someone launching an attack, there must naturally be someone preparing for it.

Lu Yu stared at the hundreds of thousands of skills slashing towards him, his arm muscles bulging as if great dragons were writhing beneath his skin.

Boom…

More than ten thousand sword beams, each ten thousand zhang long, shot forth, carrying with them toxic flames.

Over a hundred thousand people were engulfed in the toxic flames.

Someone shouted in frustration, “Damn it! The half-star artifact clearly became ineffective, so why is this happening!”

Lu Yu, shouldering the stone sword, said coldly, “Do you really think a group like you can do anything to me? You dare to act arrogantly before me with only a third of the Venom Dragon Body. Wait until you’ve fully evolved into the complete Venom Dragon before you dare to challenge me again.”

Lu Yu was incredibly arrogant, remaining calm and composed even when facing so many enemies.

“That’s too crazy.”

“Damn it, don’t let him live.”

During the intervals of Lu Yu’s attacks, he was bombarded by tens of thousands of skills, once again being shattered into a rain of blood.

The flames roared as Lu Yu took his first step forward from within the fire, unleashing a sweeping arc of sword light.

A half-star sword cannot decapitate a person, but a toxic flame as long as ten thousand zhang blazed across the sky.

A sword beam swept across a semicircular area, engulfing nearly a thousand people in toxic flames, leaving only screams behind.

“Let’s talk again when your Poison Dragon Bodies are fully developed,” Lu Yu said bluntly, standing firmly in place and scanning his gaze in all directions.

This kind of battle means dying multiple times for Lu Yu.

A complete Toxic Dragon Body might pose some threat to him.

But they’re not even worth looking at now.

By constantly being reborn, these people were completely wiped out in large numbers.

If these people could provide the energy of their attributes to Lu Yu, he dared to say that his Blade of Slaughter would have evolved again long ago, and perhaps the Dragon of Darkness would already be nearing its ultimate evolution.

But now, it’s basically working for nothing.

It’s all just for that final bit of reward.

Five hundred thousand people were beheaded.

Lu Yu didn’t even flinch.

In the end, only the Demon Ancestor and that giant remained.

The Devil Ancestor was actually entangled by the giant, something he had never experienced before.

“Here’s a gift for you, the twenty-first round. If you come again, we’ll fight once more!”

Lu Yu mercilessly swept his stone sword, unleashing a wave of toxic flames that engulfed the two men.

Even the Demon Ancestor couldn’t help but cry out in pain upon being touched by the toxic flames; the agony was simply unbearable.

The giant’s keratin was immediately shed upon contact with the toxic flames, and new keratin quickly regenerated.

“Kill you.” The giant took advantage of the Demon Ancestor’s momentary distraction, grabbed his body, threw it into his mouth, and crushed it with a bite.

Then, the giant spewed out a jet of poison flame from its mouth.

“What an idiot, a monster who only knows how to eat!”
