The evolution of the demon depends on the strength of Lu Yu.
Therefore, the more powerful Lu Yu becomes, the stronger the illusion demon grows as well.
Qin Hai had fought against both Mo Zu and Lu Yu before, so he naturally understood how troublesome the person standing before him was; that terrifying regeneration ability was something he had never heard of before.
One Lu Yu is already hard enough to deal with.
If there were one more Illusion Demon, this battle would be really hard to win.
The Demon Ancestor’s expression turned dark and cold as he fixed his gaze directly on Lu Yu and the Phantom Demon.
The white bone warrior gripped his battle axe and coldly said, “No matter how many more helpers arrive, it won’t matter. The one who grabs the spoils is the true winner.”
“That’s right. The final winner is the one who grabs the prize, not the one with the most helpers,” Qin Hai said with a cold expression.
For him to personally approach and offer a compromise alliance, that was already pushing the limit of what he could do.
He was rejected by Lu Yu, which made Qin Hai so furious that he wished to kill Lu Yu to relieve his hatred!
However, this is not the time to determine life or death.
Qin Hai was the first to move, sprinting toward the center of the ruins.
The Devil Ancestor and Lu Yu also acted together, neither wanting to fall behind even a single step.
The Devil Ancestor said in a sinister voice: “Don’t you think something is wrong? From the southeast direction to the center of the ruins, the path we took is the only way. If Green and the others had truly arrived here, I’m afraid there’s no way the dragon scales and this armor could still remain here. And the team that entered the ruins before us, if they had also headed toward the center of the ruins, they absolutely wouldn’t have missed this armor and the dragon scales either.”
Qin Hai’s heart sank as he asked, “What exactly are you trying to say?”
“He didn’t say anything else. ‘Aren’t you a king yourself? Then figure it out on your own,’ the Demon Ancestor replied. Seeing that he had sparked Qin Hai’s interest, he stopped talking and instead rushed forward even faster.”
Qin Hai’s movements became slightly slower, allowing the Demon Ancestor to pull ahead by nearly five hundred meters.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, was closely chasing after the Devil Ancestor without letting go.
Ahead, there were dozens of already-dead monsters standing motionless without falling.
Some of these animal bones are two meters tall, while others reach nearly ten zhang in height.
Every beast bone maintained a posture of charging forward, and even retained a lingering aura of slaughter on its body.
Each of these monstrous bones was remarkably intact, still emitting a terrifying Supreme aura.
In the center of these animal bones lay a skeleton.
This humanoid skeleton has only its left half remaining; the other side seems to have been sliced away as if by some force.
Half of a body stood there, at the location of the person’s heart, with a pulsating, fist-sized, crimson-red heart still beating.
“Star Treasure!” The Devil Ancestor’s eyes flared wide open, and suddenly he unleashed his full power, rushing fiercely toward that half-body.
When the Devil Ancestor approached these dozens of animal bones, all the bones began to move.
“Boom! Boom!”
Behind each beast bone, the empty space instantly transformed into the shadow of a ferocious wild beast.
“Land-splitting Beast, Dragon-devouring Beast…” The Demon Ancestor was greatly astonished; when he saw these beastly shadows, even his figure involuntarily paused for a moment.
Each of these beast bones had a strength of a hundred Zun when they were alive and at their peak. Moreover, among them were a few rare species of beasts.
Now, even if these dozens of monsters were to die, their remaining strength would still be nearly twentyfold!
Dozens of beast bones, shimmering with black aura, were drawing down the surging starlight from the sky, connecting it to the bones.
On top of each beast bone, flesh began to regenerate, and the aura grew even stronger.
The Devil Ancestor gritted his teeth, swung his fist with a roar, and smashed it onto an animal bone.
A beast bone was crushed into pieces.
However, a beast claw from a nearby beast bone struck down, smashing the ancestor of demons directly into the ground.
“Roar!”
The auras of dozens of beast bones had surged to forty in total, and the force unleashed by their simultaneous attack drove the Devil Ancestor and the white bones deep into the earth, creating a chasm ten thousand zhang deep.
Then, Qin Hai suddenly stopped, frowning. “By integrating the energy of the Star-Calling Technique into the beast bones, the starry sky above this royal city is providing power to these creatures.”
He was startled.
I’ve heard of the power of Star-Calling, but I never imagined someone would use such a method to create guardians.
When the first strike of these beast bones ended, they had already lunged toward Lu Yu.
These beast bones attacked with great speed; one-third of their flesh had already regenerated, and their power approached that of sixty Zun.
A tremor passed through Lu Yu’s heart. Facing so many powerful beasts, he felt that his fate would not be better than that of the Devil Ancestor.
Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly realized that the ferocity of these beasts was not directed at him!
These beasts ran past him and then lunged toward Qin Hai.
Qin Hai was already worried about being attacked by these beast bones. Just then, he saw Lu Yu abandon his own defense and charge toward him instead, which shocked him even more. He exclaimed in surprise, “What? What is going on here?”
Lu Yu was equally astonished. However, he ignored everything else and quickly stepped forward, stopping right in front of the skeleton, which was now only half a body.
Then his hand reached into the white bones and took out the beating heart.
The heart suddenly stopped beating and turned into a blood-red stone.
“Boom!”
Beneath the earth, the Demon Ancestor surged forth, and with it, a skeletal figure swung an axe toward Lu Yu’s wrist.
“Mine, give it back to me!” The Devil Ancestor stomped on the earth, exerting all his strength as he lunged toward Lu Yu.
“Boom!”
The demon beside Lu Yu sprang into action, transforming into a phantom that took the form of a stone-like sword in Lu Yu’s hand, blocking the war axe, while simultaneously using its body to shield against the attack from the Demon Ancestor.
“Buzz!”
Qin Hai extracted his power at the cost of losing one arm and, with a single punch, annihilated dozens of beast bones that had not yet recovered.
His severed arm began to regenerate. Although the regeneration speed couldn’t compare to Lu Yu’s recovery rate, within one second, it still regrew one-third of the missing arm.
His eyes also gleamed with bloodshot light as he wordlessly lunged toward Lu Yu, his remaining solitary arm reaching out for that blood-red stone.
Lu Yu was no slower either.
He took one step back and instantly moved dozens of meters away. Before his eyes, information about the stone had already appeared.
…
Wang Zun’s Heart:
Grade: Unique.
Description: The ultimate treasure among the supreme ones, which can only be formed after death. In each era, only the most honored king has the qualification to condense this unique stellar treasure upon death! Heart-type stellar treasures can only be equipped one at a time.
Ability: Those who fuse with the King’s Sacred Heart will gain access to the most powerful skills the King once possessed.
Note: The royal ancestors’ abilities vary across generations, so one may randomly inherit the royal ancestor’s innate talents and gifts from their lifetime.
…
Lu Yu’s eyes flickered with data, showing no attribute enhancements.
However, that ability had already surprised Lu Yu.
In the eyes of the Devil Ancestor and Qin Hai, that stone was a treasure no less valuable than a half-star artifact.
The Devil Ancestor’s attack was blocked by the Illusion Devil. He shouted loudly, “Lu Yu, give me that stone, and I will no longer take your body.”
Qin Hai said excitedly, “Lu Yu, I’ll give you one-tenth of my inherited knowledge in exchange for the stone in your hand.”
“No, I want this item,” Lu Yu laughed loudly, grabbing the stone and pressing it against his chest.
“Give it to me!” The Devil Ancestor and Qin Hai, rarely in sync, simultaneously launched a frenzied attack on Lu Yu.
The demon, holding a stone sword, blocked Lu Yu’s path. Facing attacks from two powerful experts at the same time, he was instantly shattered.
At this moment, the stone in Lu Yu’s hand had already transformed into a blood-red liquid and merged into his body!
“Oh!”
In the empty space behind Lu Yu, a towering figure nearly a hundred zhang tall emerged.
This figure in Taoist robes, filled with resentment, clenched his fists and thrust them toward the sky, as if he wanted to punch down the stars themselves.
This was merely a phantom image, yet his gaze pierced the heavens, causing even the starlight above the ruins to dim.
The illusory figure existed for only an instant before vanishing.
Lu Yu, however, burst into laughter and said, “I’ve already absorbed it. If you want to kill me, then come ahead.”
Qin Hai trembled as he spoke: “Lu Yu, you can take it out. As long as you willingly remove it and give me this star treasure, I will give you one-fifth of the inherited knowledge!”
“Give it to me, and I will give you this half-star armor.”
The Demon Ancestor and Qin Hai had both once been kings. They understood the importance of this item and were well aware of the terrifying power of this stellar treasure.
Its usage is absolutely unrestricted.
After the death of each generation’s Wang Zun, there is a certain probability that a Star Treasure will coalesce.
This is known as the aspiration of Wang Zun!
Wang Zun, this is the strongest person of every era, second only to the King.
Even the mighty Wang Zun possessed the strength to challenge a king in battle.
Wang Zun’s most powerful skills are so formidable that even kings would feel headaches and fear.
Of course, the most terrifying aspect is the talent of each generation’s Wang Zun.
To become a King Ancestor, one’s talent must be exceptionally high.
Although the owner can only have a certain chance to obtain the talent when fusing with the King’s Will for the first time.
But once achieved, it is no longer just a simple matter of talent.
That is equivalent to adding together the talents of the owner themselves.
Wang Zun’s talent alone can make someone become Wang Zun; when combined with another talent, it can rapidly boost a person’s strength in a short amount of time.
For example, the Demon Ancestor and Qin Hai—both are in urgent need of a rapid boost in power to obtain the strength of a King.
And the King Zun’s path is the fastest and safest shortcut.
In the eyes of the Demon Ancestor, the will of a King was even more important than a half-star artifact.
Once Wang’s power is restored, even the Half-Star Artifact can be shattered!
When Lu Yu heard the two people arguing and fighting over something, the attributes displayed during Wang Zun’s heart fusion already appeared before his eyes.
Lu Yu laughed loudly and said, “I won’t exchange it. I’ve already said that starting from now, everything is mine. Therefore, I will absolutely not give you this heart.”
His smile was incredibly radiant, causing both the Devil Ancestor and Qin Hai’s hearts to tremble with laughter.
Could it be that—
He has acquired the talent of Wang Zun!
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing intense murderous intent.
However, in an instant, both of them abandoned the idea of joining forces here to kill Lu Yu.
They had not yet reached the ruins when Wang Zun’s determination began to show.
What could be at the center of those ruins?
Lu Yu saw that the Devil Ancestor and Qin Hai did not make a move.
He laughed heartily and said, “Since the two of you aren’t going to kill me, I’ll be on my way then.”
Although Lu Yu did not possess the same level of knowledge as these two individuals,
However, from the way they were both so tense, Lu Yu knew it was something important.
Moreover, more importantly, when Lu Yu listened to the King’s Heart, the description of the King’s heart he received had changed too much.
This is indeed King Wang Zun’s heart, beyond any doubt. Moreover, it is the heart of a king without a crown.
…
Wang Zun’s Heart:
Rarity: Unique.
Description: The Heart of the Uncrowned King, who became the strongest among the Supreme beings over the course of a thousand years, standing now at the peak of supremacy!
