The exciting news from all directions lifted the previously gloomy human atmosphere to a high point overnight.
They first realized that the major factions still had their own hidden aces up their sleeves.
And the reason they don’t show up is simply because there hasn’t yet been anyone capable of posing a threat to them.
“If Lu Yu were to fight against these aces, I wonder who would win?”
Someone excitedly whispered guesses.
But now no one bothers to guess anymore.
This night, humans could not rest peacefully, and the humanoid race could not rest peacefully either.
The news of continuous attacks spread among the tribes, startling them all.
They then realized they had underestimated humanity.
The two black wolves of the third stage were torn apart by a human—
A four-star snake humanoid was leading its squad in hunting humans when it was attacked by a terrifying ghost shrouded in black and crimson auras. In the end, the ghost retreated, leaving the four-star snake humanoid severely injured. The squad it led suffered a loss of one hundred Zunzhi (supreme beings).
A hundred-man staircase was led by three monstrous mouths, and there has been no contact since.
When the fourth-stage ape demon intimidated humans at the entrance of the plains, it provoked two individuals to take action, resulting in the ape demon returning severely injured.
…
Such news spread among the tribes several times overnight.
After a brief moment of chaos, the various tribes finally resorted to decisive and ruthless measures.
A large number of fourth-order and third-order clans took action, and the Snake Demon also left the Swamp Citadel.
Some exceptionally gifted individuals from various tribes, who possess immense potential, have also been mobilized.
The ordinary soldiers began to retreat, but some of them received the news too late.
They were ambushed and killed by the humanoid race during their retreat.
Likewise, a large number of humanoid warriors had not yet gathered, only to be slaughtered in groups.
In this process, many soldiers still organized expeditions deep into the plains.
They didn’t intend to become any kind of legend; they simply understood the principle of seeking treasures in perilous situations.
Once they hunted down a large number of Zhi Zuns, the Blue Planet Souls and Evolution Liquids obtained from these Zhi Zuns alone would be more than enough to make them prosperous.
The next day after the news about the humanoid race spread, the Demon Hunting Plains became a battlefield.
Someone exclaimed excitedly at the ruins, “I saw Qin Hai in action. He’s too powerful—he actually wiped out an entire squad of three hundred people by himself.”
“I heard that the immortal demon king from India also showed up, and after a fierce battle with the fourth-stage ape demon, both were severely injured and retreated.”
Not long ago, near a mountain range, Lu Yu encountered four third-stage snake people. In the end, neither side engaged in battle, and both retreated.
Rumors of all kinds were flying everywhere, and at the entrance to the plains, several mysterious figures were seen entering and leaving.
These people are definitely the aces of various factions.
Everyone knows that the battle three days from now will absolutely be the fight of the century.
Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed excitedly from atop the ruins, “I saw it! I saw that Lu Yu and the Snake Demon were almost about to meet—those two great experts missed each other by just a minute!”
The man, excited and thrilled at first, ended up feeling greatly disappointed as he said, “Lu Yu had just left after wiping out a three-hundred-strong humanoid squad when the Snake Demon arrived. Unfortunately, with Lu Yu’s speed, he was already too far away within a minute.”
“What? That’s such a waste?”
“Heaven, I can’t even imagine what the battle would be like if the madman, known as the immortal, were to meet the monster, known as the demon.”
People were talking about it, knowing that the battle was not far off.
…
Before a towering mountain—
Behind Lu Yu stands a team of more than 300 people.
This squad, eager to venture beyond the safety of the plains entrance, hoped to strike it rich at this opportune moment.
Just as they had hoped, they surrounded a small team consisting of only more than thirty humanoid lives. All of these humanoids were at the first stage, forming a scouting squad.
However, they had very bad luck—
The snake demon appeared.
A single snake demon would be enough to wipe out this small team of over 300 people.
These humans were also quite lucky.
Because they encountered Lu Yu.
They have already been extremely lucky.
Someone is already crying with joy.
Lu Yu confronted the Snake Demon, which was the biggest news since the emergence of the humanoid race.
One is the top expert in Huaxia. The other is a demon among the snake people, a powerful individual destined to possibly become the Snake King. What would it be like if these two were to engage in a direct battle?
Both Lu Yu and the Snake Demon radiated an immense and powerful aura of battle.
Behind She Mo, a phantom snake shadow swayed in the void, its thousand-zhang-long body churning the winds and clouds, causing the sky to darken.
Every sway of the serpent’s shadow seemed to lash the sky, the deafening thunder shaking the earth and causing more than three hundred humans to spit blood from their mouths.
Lu Yu stood rooted to the spot, unmoving, as if stunned by the serpentine shadow in the empty space behind the snake demon.
A dragon’s roar echoed from within Lu Yu’s body.
“Roar.”
Infinite black energy surged from Lu Yu’s body into the sky, as a single-horned black dragon, accompanied by boundless toxic gas, coalesced in midair.
This is a solitary dragon with pitch-black, glistening scales, emitting toxic fumes that corrode the very fabric of space.
It was in no way inferior to the气势 of the snake’s shadow; with every roll in the air, it turned another patch of emptiness pitch black.
Before long, the sky for dozens of miles turned pitch black.
Without light or moon, it was as dark as a sky heavy with storm clouds.
Meanwhile, the venomous dragon became the dragon king dancing within the dark clouds.
The Snake Demon belongs to the snake clan and possesses the same venomous abilities.
Since the Snake People share many similarities with snakes, it’s possible that they belonged to the same race long ago.
Therefore, the Snake Clan has extensive knowledge about poisons.
Upon seeing the venomous dragon, the Snake Demon immediately sensed the immense power of poison emanating from Lu Yu.
“Toxic Dragon,” the serpent demon said in mild surprise. “You’ve actually obtained the venom of the Toxic Dragon.”
Lu Yu said calmly, “This has nothing to do with you. But since we’ve met today, how could you possibly think you can just walk away so easily? I’ve heard the Snake Clan’s poison is quite formidable. How about we stay here and find out who dies from poison first?”
“Are you challenging me to a contest of venom?” the serpent demon laughed heartily, then fixed Lu Yu with a fierce glare. “One of your human kings died this way. If even a king perished, what makes you think you stand a chance?”
“Oh?” Lu Yu said coldly, “Since that’s the case, let’s see if you can withstand the poison of the Poisonous Dragon.”
The snake demon said coldly, “Poison has always been the strongest power of our serpent clan. So I challenge you to a duel of toxins. You’re seeking your own death.”
The conversation between the two was heard by dozens of humanoid beings as well as over three hundred humans.
The humanoid clans were utterly astonished.
They were well aware of how terrifying the Snake Clan’s poison could be, and they understood even better the dreadfulness of the poison dragon.
They had once survived in the Domain of Unified Demons, where the venomous dragons were feared by all races, who dared not approach.
Only the strong warriors of the Snake Clan dare to get close, and even they must elevate their poison to the extreme level to do so.
Humanity was even more astonished.
Lu Yu has been, so far, practically undefeated. Few of his defeated enemies were able to force him to unleash the power of the Poisonous Dragon.
As humans and the demon race interact more deeply, they come to understand more about the events that occurred in the world of the past.
Venomous Dragon – the supreme among poisons.
It is incomparably domineering; once refined, it becomes insurmountable.
Moreover, in the human world, everyone knows how terrifying poison can be.
The power that can even corrode armor is simply insurmountable.
Most importantly, there has never been a war where victory or defeat was decided by poison.
They had accidentally entered this place, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse, and actually witnessed two great experts confronting each other with poison.
This, this battle duel is a war for the century.
Both humans and humanoid creatures quickly retreated.
They were well aware that once these two great experts engaged in a toxic duel, no living being within a thousand miles would survive.
No one has ever been able to confront the poison of the Snake Clan.
They also wanted to witness the outcome of this battle.
The snake demon looked at Lu Yu, its expression growing increasingly murderous.
The confrontation on the Crimson Flame Plains, the near miss on the Demon Hunting Prairie, and even Lu Yu’s growing influence among humans had already stirred the demon’s intent to kill.
“Kill you, and use your bones to build my first house,” the serpent demon snarled, howling in excitement.
Meanwhile—
He moved.
His snake-like tail swung across the ground, propelling his body forward as he lunged toward Lu Yu.
Buzz.
The serpentine shadow in the sky vanished, while every scale on the snake demon’s body turned crimson, each one erupting with thick, bloody flames.
When these blood flames fell to the ground, even the rocks turned blood red.
This is poison, a deadly one.
The crimson poison can reduce the life value of a Supreme, who possesses the strength of a Thousand Sovereigns, to zero in an instant.
It could also turn the entire body and blood of this supreme being into ashes.
“Mutation!” the snake demon roared. His body swelled rapidly, and at the same time, two terrifying sharp mouths emerged on his shoulders.
At the same time, the toxic gas on his body had merged into a continuous mass, burning like a sheet of red flame.
Lu Yu also sprang into action, like a ferocious beast lunging fiercely toward the snake demon, his voice sharp with rage: “I’d like to see what power you have to use my bones as building material for your house.”
Both sides’ spectators gasped in unison for a moment.
Watching the two powerful experts collide head-on with unrestrained brute force.
Boom!
This was a real collision, with both sides having given their all.
Such an impact was like a meteor crashing into the Earth, with the shockwave’s force sweeping across, causing the ground to ripple outward in successive waves, as if the earth itself were surging forth in concentric circles.
Gravel and sand leaped from the ground, instantly transforming into a towering sandstorm dozens of zhang high, sweeping outward in all directions.
At this moment, a figure was sent flying backward from the sandstorm.
A streak of blood trickled from the corner of Lu Yu’s mouth as he soared backward through the air for dozens of miles before crashing into a mountain.
The mountain was pierced by him.
His body also landed on the ground, but he could not stop his backward momentum and continued rolling backward.
“Was defeated in one move?” A human roared, his voice distorted with rage.
Someone exclaimed excitedly, “No, he hasn’t lost. Lu Yu bears no wounds on his body; that collision injury only affected his internal organs. Moreover, a third-stage Snake Demon is naturally stronger than Lu Yu. The fact that such a powerful strike couldn’t even leave a single mark on Lu Yu’s body—could this be the terrifying power of transforming one’s body into a weapon?”
Lu Yu was driven back, and instead of disappointing these people, it only made them more excited.
…
Boom.
The snake demon transformed into a bolt of lightning, piercing through the mountain peak as well, and lunged toward Lu Yu.
His ten fingers were like blades, slashing across Lu Yu’s chest.
Hissing…
A grating sound reverberated through the heavens and earth, shattering the massive stones around into pieces.
“Snake Demon, you’re not good enough,” Lu Yu said, turning his hand into a claw with five fingers and landing it on the Snake Demon’s body.
His five fingers shimmered with a cold gleam, leaving five sword-like scratches, each an inch deep, on the bone armor of the snake demon.
“Lu Yu, this is just the beginning. The poison’s power has yet to erupt; what are you so pleased about?” The Snake Demon snorted coldly, changing his grip into a fist and heavily striking Lu Yu’s chest.
The snake demon roared, “Explode.”
Boom—
On the fist of the snake demon, a red aura emerged from nothingness, and then suddenly exploded in an instant.
The crimson toxic flames erupted in a dazzling display.
At the same time, this poisonous flame was also shockingly terrifying, even turning the surrounding air red.
It was as if a cannonball had exploded, the shockwave crashing against Lu Yu’s body, with endless torrents of blood energy surging into every pore across his entire body.
Lu Yu’s body, in the span of a single breath, began to corrode from head to toe.
The skin turned into black water in an instant, and the flesh was as if splashed by sulfuric acid, countless pieces of flesh sizzling and melting away.
Lu Yu let out a muffled grunt, his expression subtly shifting.
Since refining his body to this level of the Poison Dragon, he had never been injured by poison again.
However, the Snake Demon was too bizarre and did not even belong to the Ten Thousand Poisons.
The snake demon laughed sinisterly and said, “This is my snake venom; no matter how strong you are, you can’t defend against it.”
He burst into maniacal laughter, his hand plunging deep into Lu Yu’s chest as he reached toward the heart.
Dozens of humanoid lives cheered in the distance, all incredibly excited to witness this scene.
When the heart shatters, who can still live?
Some humanoid beings shouted loudly, “Long live the mighty Snake Demon!”
The snake demon’s hand pierced through the rotting flesh, and suddenly black mist surged from its razor-sharp claws. At the same time, the black mist coiled upward, corroding everything in its path.
Soon, the black gas coiled around the wrist.
The snake demon let out a pained grunt, his entire back arching as he violently recoiled backward.
The black gas continued to rise, only weakening as it coiled from the wrist up to the elbow.
His arm disintegrated upon contact with the black mist, and even the exposed bones began to darken.
This time, dozens of humanoid lives had their mouths wide open.
The Snake Demon is called a demon because his entire being is filled with demonic essence.
Poison is a demon, mutation is a demon, and oneself is an even greater demon.
His poison is so potent that even fourth-stage beings of the same species dare not easily confront it.
His resistance to poison is so strong that even the venom of a fourth-stage snake humanoid cannot harm him.
And now, it’s just a wisp of black aura clinging to Lu Yu’s body, yet it has already crippled one of his arms.
Members of the Serpent Clan are very cautious when engaging in poison duels with their own kind. They typically start by testing each other’s strength and then launch fierce toxic attacks.
And these two came on with fierce intensity right from the start. Is this the difference between a contest and a fight for survival?
Lu Yu and the Snake Demon each landed a blow on the other, both retreating dozens of steps. They stood still, eyes fixed on one another without moving.
Lu Yu’s skin and flesh kept regenerating, while black toxic gas surged out from his flesh, continuously battling and devouring the blood-colored flames in a fierce struggle.
Lu Yu’s facial muscles contorted unusually, and his entire body tensed up.
The snake demon isn’t much better.
Large beads of sweat continuously dripped from his forehead.
One of his arms was continuously dripping with black blood, and the granulation tissue kept growing without stopping. Even so, the poison gas could not be expelled immediately.
The two stood still, neither moving, both detoxifying.
The person in the distance looked as if they were about to suffocate.
If such poison were to fall upon them, not even a trace of bone would remain.
“This is poison, it’s too terrifying.”
“I think this appearance was worth it, even though I almost lost my life.”
“Yeah. Being able to witness such a match, I’m sure many people never even imagined it. I bet a lot of people wanted to see it but simply couldn’t.”
…
More than three hundred people began discussing, and each person’s expression turned excited.
At this moment, the poison on both of their bodies began to wear off.
The last flicker of blood flame on Lu Yu’s body was extinguished.
At the same time, the black aura around the snake demon also disappeared.
“Again.” The snake demon seemed as if the wounds he had just sustained were not to his own body.
In the moment the poison on him was cleared, the snake’s tail swung and it lunged at Lu Yu once again.
“This poison is too weak. Such feeble power might only be impressive to someone like you,” Lu Yu coldly snorted. He stomped his foot onto the ground, and like an arrow released from a bow, he shot forward toward the snake demon.
Boom—boom—boom—
The blood-red flames and the black qi collided as if they were solid, creating a thunderous impact that shook the heavens and earth, causing them to tremble.
With a sweep of his mighty hand, the snake demon unleashed a vast wave of blood-colored flames from his palm, tearing off a layer of the earth itself.
This isn’t merely poison; it’s fiercer and more ferocious than a normal attack.
The toxic gas spreading across Lu Yu’s body surged directly into the blood flame, tearing a rift within it.
Everyone around was completely stunned, even the humanoid species.
Is this still poison?
This poison can be used for both defense and offense; it can even corrode and kill enemies, making it seem even more terrifying than a combined entity of star soldiers and armor.
The two figures collided head-on amidst the blood-red flames and black mist.
Boom.
Lu Yu was sent flying by a punch from the snake demon.
Hiss.
When Lu Yu flew up, his five fingers also left five sword marks two inches deep on the bone armor of the snake demon’s chest.
“Boom.” The snake demon stepped forward and punched Lu Yu in the chest again, while at the same time blood flames exploded outward.
The blood energy, like a toxin from decaying bones, surged into Lu Yu’s body, beginning to corrode his flesh.
Lu Yu sneered and said, “Once is the limit for a poison to affect me. This poison is no longer effective on me.”
As Lu Yu spoke, the bloody energy that had seeped into his body completely dissipated, and even the flesh on his body returned to its original state.
“So?” The snake demon snorted coldly and threw another punch.
Boom.
The blood flame erupted once again, surging into Lu Yu’s body.
Lu Yu’s entire body instantly split open, with streams of blood flame bursting forth, carrying away a large amount of blood.
“My poison takes countless forms, shifting with my will. You may have countered one, but can you handle another?” the serpent demon sneered coldly, swinging his fist forward once more in a powerful strike.
Every time a punch was thrown, a burst of blood flame exploded, then drilled into Lu Yu’s body.
In terms of strength, the Snake Demon possesses overwhelming power.
Lu Yu could withstand, but that didn’t necessarily mean he could resist.
The blood flame surged into Lu Yu’s body, some parts feeling as if being slashed by knives, others as if engulfed in flames, and yet others as if trampled by ten thousand iron hooves…
Each attack method is unique, and every attack alters the way the poison is delivered.
That is, every kind of poison is a mutated, highly toxic substance, and each kind of poison is also a new toxin.
Lu Yu’s body shattered in an instant.
Dozens of poisons worked together, completely shattering his resilient body.
Boom.
The snake demon’s fist smashed into the battered body before him, reducing it to a shower of blood.
He opened his mouth, eager to suck all the blood and flesh into it.
“They say you Lu Yu have an immortal body. But today, I will drain all your blood and flesh, and see what immortality you still possess.”
The giant mouth of the serpent demon opened like a bottomless abyss, drawing in the surrounding air into a swirling vortex.
Not a single drop of blood or flesh in the air escaped; all of it swirled toward the serpent demon’s mouth.
The crimson blood rain transformed in midair, each droplet turning pitch black.
When a drop of black blood fell into the serpent demon’s mouth, the demon let out a strange cry and leaped backward.
He was also very decisive in cutting off a section of his own tongue.
The crimson tongue had already changed color, instantly turning into black water.
At this moment, his expression became a bit more serious.
This human is not ordinary.
“Even an immortal body has been turned into poison,” the snake demon said in a deep voice, staring at the blood rain condensing in the sky.
“Do you really think it’s that easy to kill me?” Lu Yu emerged from the pool of black blood.
The snake demon said coldly, “If I can’t devour you, I’ll dissolve you. Do you think this is my real poison? This is just the beginning.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “You think I’m using the Poison Dragon Body to fight you, but actually, this is just the Ten Thousand Poisons.”
