The grand hall was silent.
Everyone stared in horror at the Demon Lord who had taken out the stone tablet, their expressions exceptionally complex and agitated.
They knew Lu Yu, but they never expected that Lu Yu would actually ask the other party to name a price.
This indicates that what the Demon Lord has brought out is an invaluable treasure!
Lu Yu never does anything unjust!
He has killed countless people, cold and ruthless.
But that was for his enemies!
Anyone who has ever interacted with Lu Yu understands exactly how he treats his friends versus ordinary people.
As the Sovereign, Lu Yu never acted superior or imposed his authority on others. No one had ever seen him using his position to bully people.
Many people bring what they consider most precious, all because they believe in Lu Yu’s integrity.
Even if the item you bring is not something you yourself need, as long as it is useful to Lu Yu, he will always offer a very reasonable price to the other party, regardless of its previous value.
In Fanggang, Lu Yu has done it before.
It was precisely for this reason that Lu Yu’s credibility convinced many people.
Those who have transacted with Lu Yu have always known that they will never be at a disadvantage when dealing with him.
And this Demon Lord, bringing along something his ancestors had no use for, came with the same thought—to give it a try.
An item that is left unused can be considered worthwhile if it can be exchanged for something useful that he can use right now.
Lu Yu’s answer excited the Devil King.
This demon lord did not expect Lu Yu to actually ask him to name a price, causing sweat to form on the demon lord’s palms.
Once, he looked down upon humanity’s weakness. Now, he must seek an exchange with humans!
Many people took a deep breath and listened quietly.
They want to guess the value of this stone through the offered price!
The Demon Lord clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm his wildly beating heart, and then said, “Would anything I offer as a price be acceptable?”
Lu Yu nodded solemnly and said, “Except for murder and arson, anything I have can be traded!”
The Demon Lord took a deep breath and said, “Would two billion Star Spirit Stones be acceptable?”
The Demon Lord spoke, revealing the price he had been contemplating for a long time, feeling somewhat nervous.
“Hiss!”
Many people inhaled sharply, this price was nothing ordinary.
A person with a thousand bodies of a魔主 may not necessarily be able to come up with so many Star Spirit Stones. Therefore, if you possess these Star Spirit Stones, you can certainly exchange them for whatever you desire.
At this price, I’m afraid we’ll have to accept it now.
Lu Yu nodded without hesitation and said, “No problem. Twenty billion Grade-One Spirit Stones—you can come to collect them anytime. However, this is not my final price for the stone. You can continue to bid!”
“My God, twenty billion Star Spirit Stones aren’t even enough!” someone exclaimed in disbelief. “This must be a joke, right? How can this stone be so valuable?!”
The Devil King’s expression became even more complex, his lips trembling as he asked, “What if I add another thousand Devil King bodies?”
“Not enough!”
All around was silent once again, and he felt as if he were going out of his mind.
This price is sufficient to elevate this Demon Lord from an ordinary Demon Lord to a Supreme One. Moreover, if everything goes smoothly, he could even become a Supreme One with the power of the Three Venerables.
However, this is not enough.
So what exactly is the value of this stone!
Lu Yu’s quoted price was very high. The stone was simply too extraordinary.
Since childhood, his mother has taught him how to be a good person, and he has always made it a point to repay any kindness shown to him.
Lu Yu dares to say that from childhood to adulthood, aside from his parents, he has never wronged anyone.
Especially since the stone was cheap, he absolutely couldn’t take advantage of that!
“One hundred Star Notes!”
Lu Yu nodded at this point and said, “It’s almost there; you can make one more bid.”
“Uh!”
“Ahh!”
The gazes of the people around suddenly changed.
This is what they call “ascending to heaven in a single step.”
This Demon Lord was merely ordinary even among other Demon Lords.
However, if he were to obtain these things, it would be more than enough to allow this Demon Lord to rise rapidly and become one of the most powerful forces among the demon race, even within the Huaxia region.
The Supreme One, who had been sitting all along, suddenly stood up in shock and exclaimed, “I remember now—the stone is the Kingmaker’s Tablet, a stone imprinted with the mark of a king’s power. It’s priceless, absolutely priceless! This Lord of Demons, I must have that stone. Name whatever you want, and I’ll grant it to you!”
“Heavens, that unremarkable stone is the Kingmaker’s Tablet,” the masters of darkness exclaimed in an uproar, their eyes turning blood-red with intense excitement at this moment.
An unremarkable stone, yet it bears the indelible mark of transformation and stands as a monument of memories.
There were no written records, yet it was a memory imprint of a transformative process; once it emerged in their era, it marked the beginning of bloody wars.
When the words “Supreme” came out, he realized he had made a mistake.
He revealed the most important thing.
If there is a King Cheng’s stele, their king will soon be able to regain his strength.
But now, if this matter were to leak out, everything would become complicated.
Even the Demon Lord, who had taken out the stone, did not expect that the ancestors had left behind the Tablet of Kingship.
Although another buyer was also vying for it, he shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, but the item has already been sold. Unless Mr. Lu decides not to accept the offer, there’s nothing I can do to sell it to you.”
He felt a slight regret. But then he remembered that none of his ancestors had ever managed to activate this item.
It could never be used, even in his hands.
If he doesn’t take it out, even he himself won’t know what it is.
Now that he has exchanged for so many things, he feels it has been worth it.
However, after thinking for a long time, the demon lord shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “Mr. Lu, I really don’t know what price to quote anymore.”
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, “How about this? I don’t like owing anything to others. I’ll put forward two more items now. If you accept them, the deal is on. If not, wait until you’ve made up your mind and come find me again.”
The Demon Lord nodded and said, “Alright, name your price!”
“One drop of the Evolutionary Liquid!” Lu Yu declared. As soon as the words left his mouth, every魔主 present was stunned.
“Advance, Evolution Liquid!” some of the Demon Lords stammered, their voices trembling with excitement.
This item holds even greater value, as it significantly increases the possibility of the Devil Monarch becoming the Supreme Being.
This is something rare and invaluable, and Lu Yu has it too!
“Yes, yes!” The devil king holding the Cheng Wang Stele, his eyes sparkling with excitement, nodded immediately.
“I’ll give you a supreme weapon with at least thirty trillion attack power! Moreover, I guarantee this weapon will have two top-grade skills,” Lu Yu spoke again.
The Demon Lord was stunned, almost unable to believe his own ears, and exclaimed in shock: “Ah!”
“Oh my God, did I hear that right?” People all around jumped up in shock, everyone in the hall wide-eyed with disbelief; no one could remain calm anymore.
Lu Yu continued, “Do you accept the offer?”
“Accepted! I accept!” the Demon Lord said excitedly, nodding repeatedly.
Twenty billion Star Spirits, one hundred Star Blossoms, one drop of Evolution Liquid, and one Supreme Star Weapon.
He can definitely advance to become a Supreme Being.
No, even if he couldn’t reach the height of his ancestors, he could at least possess the power of ten.
He was satisfied and contented.
“Okay,” Lu Yu nodded and said, “These things, for you, the Devil Lord, even if you take them with you, you won’t be able to keep them. Starting from today, from the moment you become the Supreme, your Devil City will be under my protection!”
“Oh!”
The Demon Lord was even more stunned.
Shelter… it’s not something everyone can bring themselves to ask for.
Protection requires strength!
Even an ordinary supreme being would not dare to speak such words lightly.
If you were to speak out but could not offer protection, it would only make you a laughingstock to others.
In their era, even至尊 with the strength of twenty尊 realms rarely became their protectors.
How strong is Lu Yu? Saying something like that might be a bit too much, don’t you think?
Another Supreme laughed heartily and said, “Mr. Lu, you’re going too far. Just how strong do you think you are? You actually claim to protect others—do you even have the strength to do so?”
“So be it!” Lu Yu sneered, his lips curling slightly as he said, “Whether you have the strength or not will be proven soon enough—with your corpse. From this moment on, he is under my protection. In China, or even overseas, no matter what force it is, if anyone dares to attack him before he becomes the Sovereign, I will take their life. Not only me, but also my three hundred and sixty-seven warriors will hunt them down at all costs!”
“This—”
Everyone was stunned, suddenly remembering that Lu Yu still had warriors loyal to him.
The Guardian of the Underworld and the Demon-Slaying Elder protected Fanggang, while the Supreme Black Tiger was also under his command.
Today, the star soldiers they hold in their hands have an attack power as high as six hundred trillion.
Then, would Lu Yu give his subordinates the same weapons?
Perhaps that weapon has already become an even stronger one capable of wielding the power of a single god.
If that’s the case, it would be equivalent to 367 Supreme Beings.
Heaven —
As soon as someone thought of this number, their heart almost jumped out of their chest!
Many people then realized that Lu Yu not only possessed a ninth-level Star Weapon but had even promised a Supreme Star Weapon with three quintillion attack power to someone else, proving that he owned other Supreme Star Weapons as well!
Qin Tian lay there paralyzed, unable to stand up, let alone crawl.
It has taken the Qin family’s power a long time to develop to this point.
And Lu Yu, all by himself, had already caught up.
Lu Yu said, “Xing Hua currently doesn’t have a hundred pieces yet. I have fifty pieces left in my possession; all of these I will give to you now. For the remaining fifty, you can come back tomorrow to collect them. As for the Supreme Xing Bing, please grant me one month’s time—I will deliver it to you one month from now.”
“No, no rush!” the Demon Lord was already flustered.
Let Lu Yu’s protection, he felt some still falling into the mist.
Lu Yu had killed a hydra with the power of nine zuns, but it was an extremely difficult battle.
Does he have the strength to protect himself?
Lu Yu nodded upon seeing the Demon Lord’s agreement and said, “I’ll give you what you want in a moment.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu stood up, nodded coldly towards the Supreme Being, and said, “Next, I suppose it’s time we settle the matter between us.”
The Supreme coldly said, “I’ve been eager for this moment. You may call me the Demon King, for I am the Supreme who will end your life today. You are nothing but a stepping stone for my trial after awakening! Before the heavens change, I must verify my strength!”
The demon, in its arrogance, took a step toward the window. As the aura around it stirred, the glass shattered, and with another step, it leaped from the tall building.
Its wings quivered behind it like those of a devil standing in the void, as it coldly shouted at Lu Yu: “Lu Yu, what are you waiting for? Do you have the courage to come out and fight!”
