Even the old serpent people could not withstand the heat of the fires of hell.
The searing heat coursed through the old snake-man’s nerves, driving him into a frenzied rage.
With a single loud shout, the shockwave alone shattered the flames that Lu Yu had not yet dispersed.
The strength of the Eight Thousand Zuns is right here.
At this moment, even a king like Qin Hai had to yield.
Lu Yu’s body was reborn in the flames. If he had the strength of fifty thousand zuns, he would dare to turn back and fight again.
But now he has no chance.
The maximum life span of twenty-five hundred years can last until daytime, but what happens after daytime arrives?
The Star-Calling Technique has lost its effect; he’s now left with only the strength of a thousand, making it impossible for him to win!
Therefore, in the instant Lu Yu’s flesh and blood reorganized, he had already shifted sideways for hundreds of meters, dodging the old serpent man’s next strike.
The old snake man kept chasing relentlessly, his eyes fixed on Lu Yu with a ruthless determination as if he would never give up until he succeeded.
Two people were chasing each other across the open plain.
Lu Yu had no intention of fighting at all. Relying on his powerful regeneration ability, he escaped repeatedly each time the old serpent man pursued him.
The old snake man went crazy.
The star artifacts were nearly revived in his hands, but he couldn’t even get close to Lu Yu, so they were of no use.
The old serpent man pursued with increasing urgency, for once they left the plains before the ruins of the royal city, and once teleportation became possible, he would have no chance of catching up.
Lu Yu’s escape was extremely difficult.
The old snake man’s attack was too strong, and he wasn’t defending at all—he was running at full speed.
The old snake man’s attacks were consecutive suppressions, revealing the gap in their power. With a casual strike from the old snake man, Lu Yu had to reincarnate once again.
In other people’s case, they might have died countless times by now.
The old serpent man’s pursuit and assassination attempt ultimately failed.
If Lu Yu was determined to escape, it would probably take a master of Wangzun level to catch up with him.
Unless someone can capture Lu Yu.
As soon as Lu Yu left the confines of the plain, he vanished from the old snake man’s sight with a flash of teleportation.
The old serpent man flew into a rage and leveled thousands of miles of land and mountains with his star artifact, leaving everywhere filled with the cries and screams of various living beings.
He wanted to find Lu Yu, but ended up failing.
“If we can’t catch him this time, our chances of getting him in the future will be even slimmer,” the old serpent man kept pounding his chest.
He wanted to risk his life to launch a fatal attack, but even he wouldn’t have a chance like this.
…
The entrance to the ruined city on the Demon Hunting Plains—
Qin Hai and others gradually returned, and they were welcomed as heroes here.
Since the voice of the deity resonated across the entire Demon Hunting Plains, the entrance was also sealed off.
Therefore, all humans heard it.
They knew the consequences of losing.
They didn’t know how fierce the great battle had been, but they understood that humanity had won, and there was no longer a need to live as slaves.
Qin Hai and others returned and were warmly welcomed.
Lu Yu is back, but he doesn’t want to cause any trouble.
He concealed his face with a black robe and returned to Fanggang.
The construction of the second domain was not fast, mainly because the city wall this time was too high and too thick.
The construction of the first domain has already reached one-tenth of its total scale, with the main avenue and some buildings taking initial shape.
Lu Yu learned about the city’s construction situation from Liu Xing.
Then he gave some of his belongings to Liu Xing and replenished some needed items from Liu Xing.
Lu Yu stayed in Fanggang City for two days, then quietly left and headed toward a city that resembled a ruin.
Although it is called a ruin, it is not truly a ruin; it is simply a place where there are no traces of human beings anymore.
When Huo Wu and others activated the Demon King’s Domain, the city was reduced to ruins, leaving only the demon race behind.
Perhaps because the Blood Altar was never activated, the demons here have naturally multiplied to a population of millions.
And now this city also harbors demons, who have been almost forgotten.
When Lu Yu entered the city, most of the demon race within the city fell to their knees, trembling all over.
There is fear and there is dread, but above all, there is trembling.
“Oh, how interesting,” Lu Yu stepped into the city and immediately sensed several unusual presences.
These currents of energy are hidden in every corner of this city.
However, when these auras encountered Lu Yu, they immediately retreated entirely.
Three demon apes and two snakes have actually become the supreme beings.
More than a decade ago, even eighth-rank lives were rare here.
Now, these five Zun have actually reached nearly the strength of fifty Zun. It was extremely difficult for them to cultivate and rise to this level.
However, the five Zun masters were well aware of their own limits. Upon realizing Lu Yu’s immense power, they immediately retreated.
“I don’t want to bother you either, I just hope that whatever I do here, you won’t spread it around.”
If others do not provoke me, I will not provoke them.
Lu Yu walked toward the blood altar.
On the road, many members of the demonic race retreated to the sides, responding to the attitudes of those five Zun.
When Lu Yu stepped onto the blood altar, he discovered a demonic ape standing there.
The demon ape has already begun its transformation. Although its mouth remains grotesque, its body hair has shed, and it has put on human clothing.
A towering figure of ten feet in height, brimming with wild, untamed power.
When he saw Lu Yu, he immediately clasped his hands together, imitating the human gesture of respect, and bowed deeply, saying, “Lord, are you planning to use us to activate the Blood Sacrifice Altar?”
“No need for that,” Lu Yu frowned. “What’s wrong? Are you often used to activate the blood altar?”
Lu Yu heard the demon ape’s question and instinctively hesitated for a moment, then realized the reason why the demon ape had asked in that way.
“If you’re here to activate the Blood Altar as well, then this will be the fourth time since its initial activation,” the demon ape said with a bitter smile. “Lower-ranking demons reproduce and grow rapidly. If we hadn’t broken through to become Overlords, we ourselves would have become part of the Blood Altar. Even if you hadn’t come, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to hold out much longer. The next time, there might be even more powerful warriors coming here. Our fifty Overlords won’t amount to much; we will certainly become the catalyst for activating the altar.”
“Why don’t you leave?” Lu Yu had heard many stories about humans collaborating with demons, using the demons’ rapid reproduction to slaughter large numbers of weak demons for blood rituals.
Nowadays, demons are everywhere.
There are at least one hundred thousand demon lords in this city.
A supreme being like him could instantly annihilate these demonic rulers with just a wave of his hand.
As many powerful beings have said, these insignificant lives, like ants, don’t deserve to live.
Therefore, not many people would care about their life or death again.
When the Supreme Ones appeared in large numbers, with thousands or even hundreds of them emerging, fifty Supreme Ones no longer seemed particularly significant.
They would also become pawns in the bloody battle on the altar of sacrifice.
The Demon Ape looked toward the city and smiled bitterly, “I am the Demon Ape, and here there are the most of my kind. I could never abandon my kin to save myself. Even if I fled, it would be useless. We Demon Apes, even when becoming Overlords, have merely grown up from lowly lives. To many Overlord Demon Clans, we are still considered despicable and disposable. The five of us Overlords have a special hiding place, escaping massacre after massacre, and have watched our companions in this city die in batches. We have endured all along, and now that we’ve grown strong, we’ve decided to make our final stand!”
The expression on the face of the demon ape suddenly changed from one of sorrow to a fierce glare: “Therefore, all the demons here swear that if there is another massacre, we will fight with all our strength to build a city that belongs to us.”
Lu Yu frowned and said in a deep voice, “So you’re already prepared to kill me, aren’t you?”
When the demon ape’s expression turned fierce, the atmosphere around it also changed. Several faint auras of killing intent quietly locked onto it.
The Demon Beast nodded without any pretense and said, “If you had nodded just now and admitted that you came here to slaughter us, we would have all attacked. Five million demons, one hundred and fifty thousand Demon Kings, and five Supreme Beings including myself—we would rather be wiped out completely than be used as pawns any longer.”
As the demon ape spoke, dark masses of demons gathered on the surrounding buildings or atop the Star Soul Mine.
Countless eyes were fixed on him.
The other two demon apes wielded star soldiers, while two giant serpents, each dozens of zhang in length, coiled at the peak of the mine, flicking their tongues.
“You can all rest assured, I’m only interested in those who threaten me. The Demon Lord with a bounty of 150,000, heh heh—” Lu Yu swept his gaze in all directions, smiling in a rather chilling manner: “Throwing you into the Celestial System would earn me a huge sum of money. I actually hope you’ll make a move against me.”
The demon ape and the surrounding warriors immediately shivered, breaking out in cold sweat.
Lu Yu signaled for the demon ape to back off and stepped onto the altar himself. “Your lives or deaths have nothing to do with me,” he said. “As long as you don’t disturb me, I won’t lay a hand on you.”
Lu Yu stood on the blood altar and took out the key.
Following the method described, Lu Yu placed a drop of his own blood onto the altar.
Then, the key in his hand suddenly exploded on its own, transforming into strands of blood threads that gathered above the blood altar, forming a massive blood gate.
The size, patterns, and even the style of the Blood Gate were exactly the same as what Lu Yu had seen the first time.
“The Level 4 Unified Magic Field, finally arrived,” Lu Yu released his long-suppressed excitement.
As long as one can enter the Domain of Unified Magic, half of the success is already achieved.
Lu Yu looked at the Blood Gate, then turned back to look at the others, his voice cold as he said, “None of what happens here is to be spoken of outside.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu turned his head. Just as he was about to step through the Blood Gate, he suddenly stopped.
He stood in place, deep in thought, then turned to look at the demons gathering around him.
Finally, Lu Yu’s gaze fell upon the demon ape who had been speaking all along. He said, “You… and you…”
Lu Yu pointed at the five Zun and said, “You all come in with me.”
The Five Zun were taken aback, unsure of what Lu Yu intended to do.
“I have no interest in any of your lives, I am only concerned with my own interests. You five help me enter the Grand Hall of the Demon Sovereign and retrieve five items, and from this day forward, this city will belong to you!”
Lu Yu spoke in a deep voice, causing the five Zunzhi to hesitate in astonishment.
They thought they had heard it wrong.
“Wh-what are you saying?” A giant python widened its eyes, almost thinking it had an illusion.
Is this person really so domineering?
What did he just say? That this city belongs to us from now on? I didn’t hear that wrong, did I?
“Y-You’re not joking, are you?”
A demon king-level魔人猿 swallowed hard and said, “Who are you, and why do you dare to speak like that? Do you know how many Emperors there are in this country, even Emperors stronger than you? Can you influence them?”
