Chapter 296: Star Soul Ore

Lu Yu walking ahead of the group genuinely startled everyone.

However, Qian She’s face soon lit up with delight, and then she relayed Lu Yu’s words using strange vocal symbols.

Lu Yu can even slay Half-Sovereigns and fight against Sovereigns. If he walks ahead, it’s nothing remarkable.

Especially since the other party had a Zunzhi, the atmosphere on their side also became somewhat subdued.

If Lu Yu were to step forward, that would be a different story.

Both groups understood what Qian She said.

Several Westerners burst into laughter upon hearing this, pointing at Lu Yu and the others.

A woman laughed in a provocative manner, her ample chest bouncing with each laugh. Her eyes scanned over Lu Yu before finally settling on Huo Wu, where a jealous sneer escaped her lips, accompanied by a cold and sinister glare that seemed to wish for nothing more than to ruin Huo Wu’s face.

The grim reaper, holding a scythe, floated midair, his eyes peering from beneath the black robe, scrutinizing Lu Yu.

He didn’t say anything but continued forward, though the light in his eyes had changed, becoming somewhat unsettling.

A few Westerners, seeing that the Grim Reaper said nothing, also refrained from speaking further and continued forward together.

With the Supreme One leading the way, many of the group’s worries diminished significantly.

No Half-Zhizun appeared except for this giant wolf.

Over mountains high and plains wide.

They were nearly a full day and night behind Hydra, and if Hydra maintained a sufficient speed, they could easily leave them a thousand miles behind.

The Grim Reaper walked all the way without saying a word, striking ruthlessly. Anyone who blocked the path was killed with a single blow!

A monster has already reached an attack power of nine hundred trillion, making it just one step away from becoming a Sovereign.

But even with the scythe of Death, it’s still an instant kill!

This further convinced Qianshe and others of the power of the Shinigami.

“It can’t be the real Grim Reaper, can it?” Canghai muttered to himself.

That’s a creature from hell; it wouldn’t be too strange if it really appeared in this world!

And when those Westerners saw the expressions on Canghai and others, they became even more smug, chatting and laughing all the way while continuously pointing and gesturing!

“That’s the Blood Phoenix!” a devil monarch exclaimed, staring at the strange bird with a blood-red flame cloak perched atop a distant mountain peak. He felt both thrilled and creeped out.

One of the Ten Most Venomous Creatures—it’s truly priceless. However, without resistance to its poison, provoking the Blood Phoenix would leave not even a trace behind!

The monstrous bird, its body enveloped in blood-colored flames, stared at the Grim Reaper before finally flying away.

Everyone could sense that this strange bird was at least a Half-Zhizun.

A half-Sovereign with poison can kill an ordinary Sovereign.

If even these were frightened away, how terrifying must this Grim Reaper be!

After walking for a while, Lin Xiaojie pointed toward the front where mountains thousands of meters high stood, exclaiming in astonishment, “Star Spirit Stone, what an enormous one!”

Lu Yu and the others all looked over together and couldn’t help but feel greatly astonished.

At least a hundred peaks, each towering over a thousand meters high, stand amidst the mountains, and the reserves of any single mountain are several times that of a city.

This mountain range alone is equivalent to half of the star spirit stone reserves in all of Huaxia.

If these mountain ranges had appeared in Huaxia, they probably would have already sparked wars.

Even the Westerners started shrieking and gasping, one after another, their mouths watering uncontrollably.

Unfortunately, without the magic ape, no matter how vast the Star Spirit Mountains are, they cannot be mined.

The Grim Reaper seemed like a machine, devoid of even the slightest emotional fluctuation. After glancing at Xingling Mountain, he continued forward.

Twelve hours later, the group crossed through dense forests and mountains and entered a vast wasteland. The ground here was covered with piles of rubble, stretching endlessly as far as the eye could see.

Here, even the Grim Reaper has lost all traces of the hydra.

Above the wasteland, it seemed as if immense danger was hidden, as if countless wild beasts lay concealed, sending chills down one’s spine.

“Should we search separately?” Canghai frowned.

In a place like this, separation and death are one and the same!

The Grim Reaper did not move. Suddenly, a powerful wave of sound erupted from beneath the black robe with a loud “bang.”

A layer of black light patterns swept out from his body, spreading outward and growing farther and farther away.

Where the light patterns swept, countless images emerged.

There were giants hundreds of feet tall with a single eye, tiny creatures no larger than a foot, giant dragons, strange snakes, and countless other life forms that one by one appeared before everyone.

These lives are all unknown, having passed across the wasteland at some forgotten time.

Although these were merely lingering traces of the original presence, they still left everyone staring in astonishment.

At least thousands of monsters had passed through here, yet they couldn’t see even a single one now.

How many terrifying lives does this wasteland actually conceal!

As the light patterns swept across, the crowd saw the shadow of the nine-headed serpent moving in one direction.

Beside the Hydra stood four humans, a three-headed wolf, and a flickering indistinct figure.

The grim reaper drifted in the direction of the hydra, still uttering not a single word.

“Lu Yu, shall we follow through?” a star master whispered.

“Of course we should follow!” Lu Yu said coldly. “Since we’ve already chased them this far, are we going to miss out now?”

The Grim Reaper moved at an extremely high speed across the plain, like a lightning bolt, leaving behind a trail of light.

Dozens of Westerners, along with Lu Yu and others, chased after them as well.

Without the obstruction of dense forests, their speed became extremely fast.

Figures dashed across the plains, leaving trails of dust swirling in their wake.

A terrifying aura began to spread from the horizon, accompanied by the smell of blood and continuous roars, indicating that a fierce battle was underway.

The reaper’s speed is faster.

“Hydra!” Lu Yu roared.

He had fought against the Hydra before, so he naturally understood how unique the monster’s aura was.

Flying over the plains, the scenery ahead became increasingly clear.

At the edge of the horizon, thousands of wild wolves are launching an attack on hydras, three-headed wolves, and misty humanoid figures.

Meanwhile, the four people brought by Hydra and others were protected in the center. Whether they could enter the Grand Hall of Unified Magic depended on these individuals.

Therefore, these four people must not die!

Behind the wolf pack, a small hill no more than a hundred meters high was shimmering with blue starlight.

At the summit of the small mountain, a two-meter-tall white wolf stood with narrowed eyes, overlooking the battlefield.

The Grim Reaper saw the Hydra and suddenly became wildly excited, charging towards the battlefield with his scythe.

“Kill!”

The Grim Reaper roared furiously; its voice remained mechanical, yet it became extremely brutal.

He ignored the surrounding wolf packs and charged straight into the battlefield, directly cleaving the head of one of the hydra’s nine heads.

The white wolf on the small mountain stared at the battlefield, letting the grim reaper join the fight without the slightest reaction.

At this moment, everyone noticed the wolves on the battlefield.

Each one’s strength is not particularly strong. However, each one is at the level of a Demon Lord.

These thousands of black wolves were clad in bone armor, and even under the attacks of the至尊, they remained completely unscathed, truly terrifying.

Everyone scanned the battlefield and noticed that small hill.

A demon lord rubbed his eyes vigorously, his voice trembling as he stammered, “This… this can’t be a mistake, right?! That’s the Soul of the Blue Star, that’s a Star Soul ore!”

“What, is that really true?”

“That’s right. There are records stating that the Blue Planet’s Soul was originally produced within the Domain of the Demonic Ruler, and it was extremely rare. Moreover, only the eighth-level Domain of the Demonic Ruler contained Star Soul ore!”

“Level Eight, this is a Level Eight domain!”

Several demon lords were extremely excited.

This small mine can produce at least a hundred Blue Star Souls.

Moreover, regardless of how many people have died in the process of opening this domain, the number of times an eighth-grade Unified Magic Domain has been activated can be counted on one’s fingers.

They were already thrilled to have entered the seventh-level realm. However, they never expected to now find themselves in an eighth-level realm instead.

As long as they’re lucky enough, taking out even a single item could ignite a war.

No wonder the Hydra didn’t go anywhere else along the way but headed straight here—it knew what awaited here and came on purpose.

Qian She looked at Lu Yu with a strange expression and said, “I heard that the previous inheritor of the Killing Legacy took the Blue Planet’s Soul out from the Demon Sovereign’s Domain. Could this mean that he actually entered the eighth-level Demon Sovereign’s Domain?”

Several demon lords couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward Lu Yu upon hearing this, inhaling sharply with cold air.

This killer inheritor fights solely through slaughter. Even the Supreme Ones would frown upon the souls required to unlock an eighth-level domain.

What exactly did the Heir of Slaughter do to activate the Blood Altar?

Lu Yu remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield.

Those black wolves wearing bone armor were extremely fierce; even a single strike from an Overlord could send them flying thousands of meters away.

But these black wolves quickly got back up and shook their heads, rejoining the battle in an instant.

Such defensive capability is truly impressive and moves everyone.

The Westerners stood at a distance, pointing toward the center of the battlefield with an air of great confidence.

Some people were also pointing at Lu Yu and the others, laughing at them.

“Damn it, I want to rip those bastards’ mouths off,” a Star Lord growled through clenched teeth. “Do they really think I can’t understand bird language? They’re saying our strength isn’t enough and that we’re just here to watch without being able to do anything.”

As he spoke, the star master spoke up, rudely responding to the other party in English.

Then, someone among the Westerners became furious, waving a star soldier towards Lu Yu and the others.

Lu Yu remained indifferent to the changes around him.

He fixed his gaze on the four people in the center of the battlefield, narrowing his eyes.

The Hydra also noticed Lu Yu’s strange gaze and turned to look at him.

Westerners were shouting furiously, and the Star Master had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to charge forward.

Lu Yu moved. His shadow flickered in the void, and in an instant, he had vanished from his original spot!

The hydra’s scales bristled as its serpentine body coiled up violently, shielding all four individuals in the center.

Boom!

Lu Yu appeared atop the Hydra’s head, and in an instant, the millions of water droplets in his hands transformed into a massive torrent that surged down upon the Hydra.

“Lu Yu, if you dare to kill a person, I’ll tear you apart.” The nine heads of the hydra shook, spewing out streams of breath that scattered the surging flood.

However, within the torrent, Lu Yu’s entire body surged with dark energy, and rolling waves of darkness surged straight toward the earth.

“Looking for death!”

The nine heads of the hydra simultaneously spewed out black mist, which enveloped its entire body, covering its scaly armor with a layer of dark aura.

However, Lu Yu’s dark aura was slightly stronger.

Having absorbed the Ice Heart Gall, the poison of the毒龙 (Venom Dragon) has become nearly perfect.

Moreover, Bing Xindan’s pressure was like a king’s toxic force; at this moment, the black aura emanating from the nine-headed serpent’s body was nearly corroded by the dark waves suppressed by Lu Yu.

The scales on the hydra’s body also turned black, but in an instant, under the effect of its powerful vitality, they returned to normal.

“Buzz!”

The scythe of the Grim Reaper also swung down, leaving a hundred-meter-long mark on the scales of the hydra.

“Hiss!”

The hydra, feeling the pain, swung its tail to lash out.

This tail strike first hit the Grim Reaper, then swept across Lu Yu, sending both of them flying like cannonballs into the ground.

More terrifying than the fall of two bombs.

Two massive pits, each a kilometer in diameter and hundreds of meters deep, left the Westerners who were about to take action stunned, their weapons still in hand.

The Grim Reaper leaped out of the pit, unscathed.

That’s because the Grim Reaper is the supreme one!

Lu Yu also jumped out of the sinkhole, not even a single hair on his body was harmed.

Is this the Star Lord?

Dozens of Westerners stared blankly, their eyes fixed on Lu Yu.
