Chapter 481: The Resurrection of the Hydra

Phantom searched the area designated by Landu, poisoning and killing any humans that might exist there, even those who had侥幸 survived.

Lu Yu’s order was to leave no survivors; he didn’t want anyone to know too much about what had happened here.

The demon’s life was in Lu Yu’s hands, and it had never dared to harbor any rebellious thoughts.

So this time, the demon also showed no mercy—

He didn’t just kill; he even dug into the ground for nearly a hundred meters, destroying all the lives that had survived deep beneath the earth’s surface.

The vast land of ten thousand miles has been swept clean by the demon, leaving no life remaining within his sight.

The full terror of the Poison Dragon King is enough to make every living being tremble with fear!

However, when the Phantom Demon arrived at the area where the Poisonous Dragon originally appeared, it did not attack again.

Lu Yu received a message from Huanmo and hurried over.

Phantom could have killed the life here, but he decided to leave it for Lu Yu to handle.

Beneath the mountain where the second venomous dragon appeared, there was a deep pit with a diameter of more than a hundred zhang.

A venomous dragon, no more than ten feet long, coiled its body like a snake inside. The dragon was already riddled with wounds, its body pierced in countless places, with several bones shattered.

Lu Yu found it incredible.

Because this wound should have been pierced by the tiny toxic gas clouds that resulted from the massive explosion after the Dragon Transformation was completed.

Even a supreme being among two thousand five hundred was instantly reduced to dust on contact with just a bit of toxic gas, one arm disintegrating in an instant.

This tiny poisonous dragon has actually survived until now.

“Could it be that my poison doesn’t instantly cause great harm to any life, but rather depends on the enemy’s resistance to the poison?”

Lu Yu murmured to himself.

The poison of the毒龙 can no longer harm him now. However, the毒龙 itself still possesses strong resistance to poison.

The only explanation for my poison failing to kill the poison dragon instantly is that the stronger one’s resistance to poison, the longer they can endure.

At this moment, the venomous dragon kept spraying poison gas onto the wound, trying to heal the injured area.

However, the small wound is gradually expanding, although at a very slow pace.

If the poison dragon cannot remove its own poison, it will not survive.

“My poison is incurable. I’m surprised you’re still alive,” Lu Yu said, looking at the Venom Dragon, which was also staring back at him.

Back then, Lu Yu and Huo Wu came here and happened to encounter two poisonous dragons in the midst of a passionate encounter.

Thinking about giving birth to a little dragon now, there’s nothing wrong with that.

The descendants of the two venomous dragons… could they be undergoing some kind of mutation?

Xiaolong was so afraid of Lu Yu that he forgot to breathe, trembling incessantly on the spot.

“It seems you’ve also undergone a mutation.”

Lu Yu sat cross-legged in front of Xiaolong, his voice cold as he said, “I’ll give you one chance: suppress the poison inside me, and I’ll take you with me. Fail to do so, and you’ll die by your own hand!”

Lu Yu was observing Xiao Long, eager to see whether his poison was truly incurable.

If Xiao Long can suppress his own poison, it proves that he still has the potential to evolve and is worth keeping alive.

Xiaolong seemed to understand Lu Yu’s words and began desperately spitting out toxic gas.

Xiao Long’s wound continued to expand, and soon it had already corroded nearly a third of his body.

Xiao Long kept wailing sorrowfully, feeling that he was about to collapse.

Lu Yu continued to stare coldly at Xiaolong, showing no intention of offering help.

Xiaolong looked at Lu Yu in fear. Finally realizing that help was hopeless, he began frantically spewing poison gas again.

His body also began to slowly shrink.

This is because the venomous dragon’s toxic gas, which was once flesh and blood, has been significantly corroded away.

Lu Yu could be said to have instantly killed all resurrected Zun masters in the blink of an eye. The poison on his body instantly destroyed even Star Soldiers. Those Zun masters with the strength of two thousand five hundred Zun could only resist for just over a second when hit by this poison.

He witnessed the destructive power of his own poison, yet he did not understand all its effects.

From birth, the poison of the Venomous Dragon is already as potent as that of an adult Venomous Dragon.

At this time, the venomous dragon had not yet developed the impact force of a fully grown one; this was the difference.

But he was unable to observe exactly how the poison attacked.

The resistance from the venomous dragon took effect, slowing down the attack speed of the poison.

Lu Yu observed that this poison truly had no solution.

Even with strong resistance, it can at best only slow down the rate of the toxin’s corrosion and damage.

Moreover, Lu Yu discovered that his poison was also flowing within the Poison Dragon’s body. Originally, some parts of the young dragon’s body still had red blood flowing through them. However, over time, these areas were gradually overtaken by the poison.

His poison is indeed incurable; those who are poisoned either die quickly or painfully await their death.

The wounds on Xiaolong’s body grew larger and larger, and the dragon blood inside him began to completely turn black.

Lu Yu roughly understood his own way of launching toxic attacks.

He watched as Xiao Long’s body, eroded little by little, was already reduced to just one-third of its original size, and was now nearing death.

The demon stood motionless at the side, watching.

Lu Yu didn’t move.

He watched expressionlessly as Xiaolong was gradually corroded, the erosion accelerating.

Finally, the sorrowful cry of the young dragon also vanished, and a poisonous dragon transformed into a pool of black water.

Lu Yu stood up and stared emotionlessly at the black water that had transformed from the venomous dragon.

His poison has surpassed even that of the poison dragon.

This venomous dragon must not be allowed to survive.

Although selling the venomous dragon could generate a substantial amount of money.

But he didn’t want this venomous dragon to bring him any trouble.

“Go back to the ruins,” Lu Yu said, waving his hand to signal that the phantom demon could leave.

The Demon of Illusion bowed slightly, then strode beyond the Domain of the Supreme Demon.

Lu Yu confirmed the route and headed in the direction of the Tianmo Hall.

There’s no need to say much now.

His only remaining goal was whatever lay within the Grand Hall of Unity.

When Lu Yu arrived in front of the grand hall, nothing had changed since the last time he had been there.

The area in front of the stone hall was still vast and empty.

When Lu Yu appeared in front of the grand hall, five shadows suddenly emerged from the ground beneath the surrounding earth.

They were almost within ten meters of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu walked over but surprisingly noticed nothing unusual about the place.

“You’ve arrived.”

The demon ape spoke with some excitement.

They had waited for so many days, and their greatest fear was that Lu Yu would be killed by the poison dragon.

And since Lu Yu survived, it meant that the毒龙 had already been killed.

Lu Yu is still alive, so they still have a chance.

Lu Yu glanced around, nodded, and said, “Good, you kept your promise by waiting here. I will agree to your conditions as well.”

Lu Yu signaled the demon ape and the giant python to push the temple doors open with all their might. The heavy stone doors creaked open, creating a narrow gap, through which the demon ape and the others swiftly slipped inside.

Lu Yu followed behind and walked in as well.

This time coming in was no different from the last time.

One by one, stone chambers lined the passageways of the stone hall.

Lu Yu nodded and said, “I’ve told you everything I should. Because it was opened in a special way, we can stay here for three days. During these three days, you can search carefully and find the best one for me.”

“Understood.”

The giant python and the apemen nodded together and immediately dispersed.

The stone chambers are arranged like a vast labyrinth.

Lu Yu also proceeded along the path he was familiar with.

He skipped the nine-level stone chamber directly and came to a stop in front of a stone door marked with a blue star.

Lu Yu pushed gently.

The stone door was very light. Lu Yu pushed it open effortlessly.

“A blue star represents a Buddha!”

Lu Yu walked down with a smile.

In that case, there is no need to stay in a place with few stars.

The hundred blue stars on the stone gate transformed into a single red star.

When the twelve golden stars appeared on the stone gate, Lu Yu came to a stop.

This time, when Lu Yu raised his hand to press against the stone door, it was already quite strenuous for him to push it open.

Lu Yu’s attack power is 1,230.

When he stood before the stone gate adorned with twelve golden stars and thirty blue stars, he had already reached a state of balanced forces and could no longer push it open.

“Shall we use the same method as last time?” Lu Yu took a deep breath and raised his hand.

A cold gleam gathered at the tips of Lu Yu’s fingers, as one by one, blades of slaughter emerged with a clinking sound, densely covering his arms.

Innumerable blades of slaughter transformed Lu Yu’s arm into a blade-like appendage.

Lu Yu’s arm pointed toward the stone door.

Click!

Creak… Creak…

The stone gate, sealed for countless millennia, creaked open once more, releasing a wave of ancient and somber air from beyond its threshold.

In the center of the stone chamber behind the stone gate, a complete suit of armor was placed on a stone platform.

Lu Yu merely took a glance before stepping back out.

After acquiring the techniques of refining weapons, drawing in stars, and harnessing celestial stars, he could instantly discern the quality of weapons and armor at a glance.

Therefore, he could tell at a glance whether such things were useful or not.

Lu Yu used the Blade of Slaughter to open the stone doors one after another. Inside, the items placed there were either mutated Star Spirit Pearls, armor, or star weapons.

Lu Yu once saw a severely damaged armor, which should have belonged to King Zun’s armor. However, it was about 95% damaged, appearing so fragile that it seemed ready to fall apart at the slightest touch.

Lu Yu has entered many Tianmo realms and has also seen numerous options of damaged Royal Ancestor Armors.

Therefore, Lu Yu had absolutely no interest in it.

Using the Blade of Slaughter, Lu Yu approached the stone door that could only be opened by someone with a cultivation level of nearly two thousand seven hundred.

This was the farthest he could reach.

However, among so many stone doors, there wasn’t a single one that caught his interest or that he truly valued.

Not even a half-star artifact fragment could be seen, let alone a fragment of a star artifact.

Lu Yu calculated the time. There was only one day left, and time was running out.

There are so many stone doors in this grand hall that no one, except perhaps the builders themselves, probably knows exactly how many chambers there are.

“Damn it.”

Lu Yu punched the stone door, and a faint layer of light ripples sprang up from it, absorbing all the force.

Lu Yu was very angry.

Because my standards are too high, I can’t even be bothered with ordinary things anymore.

All of these precious items are worth a fortune outside.

But in his eyes, they were all trash.

The item in Lu Yu’s hand was indeed too valuable, so he no longer cared for ordinary things.

But coming in empty-handed once would result in a significant loss.

Lu Yu’s mind raced as he tried hard to recall what he needed.

Everything in the stone chamber they passed through was substandard.

The only thing that still interested him was a royal battle armor covered in snake scales, which was about seventy-five percent damaged.

If nothing else worked, then this piece of armor would have to be his first choice.

“Snake scales!” Lu Yu murmured, his eyes suddenly gleaming as he exclaimed, “The nine-headed serpent!”

Lu Yu remembered what Hydra had said — that he was born in this grand hall, and this place should rightfully belong to him.

What would he know!

Lu Yu activated the war mode and found the name Hydra.

The power of the Nine Dignitaries is no longer impressive now.

Nine hundred million star crystals were smashed into it—

A colossal serpent’s shadow abruptly emerged between the passageways of the grand hall.
