Chapter 288: The Art of Devouring Soldiers

Lu Yu had information in his mind and was also calculating.

If we have to mention materials in his possession, then he does have Dragon King’s Blood.

Although the Dragon King’s corpse, merged with itself, had lost its vitality, its blood was still alive. This was a unique characteristic of the dragon race.

Nothing about the Dragon King was missing either!

As for the remaining star artifacts, he didn’t have a single one.

Lu Yu thought for a moment, then took out a small notebook and listed a long series of items on it.

Supreme blood, Supreme bones, followed by Star artifacts and so on!

This long list contains as many as forty-six items, and seeing any one of them would be enough to scare a person to death.

But he was still writing!

It’s getting more and more amazing as I write!

None of these existing items should be possessed by ordinary people.

Anything that appears in Huaxia will be sensational!

Moreover, some of the following items even exceeded the Supreme’s comprehension!

After noting down the last, the fiftieth item, Lu Yu put down his pen and smiled slightly!

“Without counting the Dragon King’s blood, these fifty items are so terrifying that Japan would be destroyed before there’s enough wealth to collect them all!”

Lu Yu put away his notebook and walked upstairs into the villa.

Others believed he had over four hundred Demon King bodies. But that was merely the number he wanted others to know.

With his abilities, the destruction range that makes the Yellow Spring tremble.

What’s four hundred or so?

In his hands, it’s not just a hundred, but another one thousand and one hundred and sixty!

Among them, there were one hundred and sixty bodies of ultimate-grade魔lords, and one thousand bodies of ordinary魔lords!

There are plenty of demonic bodies.

Okay—

The Blue Planet Soul in his hand now had only twenty pieces left.

This thing isn’t something you can activate infinitely, you know!

The soul of the Blue Star is too scarce.

Even in the first six regions of the dragon’s nest, only a few pieces appeared.

That’s been collected by the dragon clan for who knows how many millions of years.

Moreover, the two pieces of Blue Star Soul obtained this time from the two leaders were also brought out from the Dragon’s Nest.

There might be only one or two left in the Dragon’s Nest now!

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then still threw a hundred ultimate-level Demon Lord bodies into the Celestial God System, and crushed a piece of Blue Planet Soul!

“Nineteen left, each one truly diminishes the count!”

Lu Yu sighed helplessly and walked into the Celestial God System.

In different interfaces, each one is breathtaking and extraordinary.

Lu Yu scanned through each item and noticed that the quality of the items here was somewhat different from what he had seen the last time he was here.

This batch has better attributes, and surprisingly, one of the materials he listed was included in it.

“Indeed, my guess was correct. The quality of the item is related to the strength of the person who used the demonic body before death!” Lu Yu murmured to himself, then began searching for the item he desired.

Each item was extremely rare, and several of them were marked as special.

There are a total of thirty-six items listed above.

Lu Yu examined carefully, and finally his gaze settled on an item. He exclaimed in surprise, “There’s actually something like this?”

Lu Yu chose this item without hesitation.

This is an ability, not a skill!

Art of Swallowing Troops——

Description: An ancient secret technique that enhances oneself by consuming weapons imbued with star souls. Each time a Star Weapon is devoured, it serves as a refinement of one’s being. When the art of Devouring Weapons is cultivated to its ultimate level, the practitioner’s body can eventually transform into a celestial artifact, capable of destroying everything!

Restriction: Only lives at the Star Lord level or above can use it.

Lu Yu acquired the Swallowing Soldier Technique, and a wealth of information also entered his memory.

This is exactly what he wanted!

After carefully reviewing the materials on the art of swallowing soldiers, Lu Yu became extremely excited.

The Art of Swallowing Soldiers isn’t limited to consuming star soldiers alone; it can also devour armor, and even mutated Star Spirit Beads and ordinary Star Spirit Beads. In fact, anything related to star souls can be swallowed.

The path I have walked is not wrong!

It turns out someone had done this before, but they used a star artifact they had cultivated themselves, which was somewhat different from their own.

The Demon Ancestor created the demon race, making it possible for humans to become demons.

The Devil Ancestor accomplished all this because he possessed great wisdom, which is not found in ordinary people.

In order to fight against the Demon Ancestor, Lu Yu must become as powerful as the Demon Ancestor himself.

However, Lu Yu had self-awareness. He understood that he did not possess the great wisdom of the Demon Ancestor, nor could he become a god of an entire race.

Lu Yu took a different path—using his own body as a furnace to forge weapons!

He didn’t believe he could become a deity, nor did he think he could become someone who turns others into demons.

But he could be his own god. While he couldn’t create a living race, he could forge cold weapons.

Just like the Demon-Slaying Sword!

Therefore, his body now stores millions of swords, each of which can grow and evolve, much like a species.

He is the god of these weapons, providing them with nourishment to grow and develop.

This is his path, the path he takes to stand against the Demon Ancestor!

In fact, the Blade of Slaughter is formed by condensing the ninth-stage Slaughter Intent.

But at most, only ten blades of slaughter could be condensed.

The further coalescence of the murderous intent will accumulate within the Blood Pagoda, serving as the energy that powers its operation.

Lu Yu condensed millions of seeds within his body, then dispersed the killing intent into these seeds, even breaking down the original blade of killing intent into nourishment for the seeds.

These seeds possess the effect of a killing blade right from the beginning of their growth, becoming level one killing soldiers.

Lu Yu further enhanced the Killing Soldiers by utilizing the attributes obtained from hunting, allowing these Killing Soldiers to grow and evolve into more powerful Star Soldiers!

What would happen when he possessed millions of level-nine star weapons?

Now within his body, there are millions of tiny blades of slaughter, each no more than level three.

These murderous soldiers, when separated, formed a vast sea of swords, and could even create a sword armor covering Lu Yu’s body.

Those who approached Lu Yu were pierced through the body, and having their skulls pierced was just part of the ordeal!

Even the partial integration of these killing soldiers transformed into the sharp, cold gleam of Lu Yu’s ten fingers, capable of piercing through the flesh of a Half-Sovereign!

During the great battle against the Japanese invading demon clans at Fanggang, even second-tier soldiers capable of mass slaughter were already able to injure experts at the peak of the Star Sovereign level. After that battle, Star Soldiers who had reached the third tier had become terrifyingly powerful, capable of slaying even Half Supreme Beings.

The emergence of this Soul Devouring Art was fundamentally meant to accelerate his growth.

He doesn’t need to use the Art of Swallowing Soldiers to refine his body. As long as he uses the Art of Swallowing Soldiers to strengthen his weapon of slaughter, the maturing weapon of slaughter will become even more terrifying!

That’s why Lu Yu was so excited.

In the past two days, his body has accumulated as many as two ninth-level evaluations of murderous intent, which is thanks to the sensation caused by the Blood Vortex.

As long as these two currents of killing intent are further disrupted, it will give rise to millions of additional types of soldiers, each wielding millions of weapons born from that very killing intent.

“The more, the better. You, the Demon Ancestor, have your demon clan, while I possess millions of soldiers of slaughter, each one growing stronger. I refuse to believe I can’t drown you in their might.” Lu Yu exited the Heavenly God System.

Then Lu Yu threw another hundred corpses into it and crushed a Blue Planet Soul Gem.

The Soul of the Blue Star was being used up more and more. Each piece made Lu Yu feel heartache!

He entered the Celestial Being System once again.

In this celestial system, all items have slightly inferior attributes.

This made Lu Yu even more certain that it was related to the power level of the corpse投入到其中的尸体实力.

The same set of thirty-six items—

Lu Yu spent a long time choosing but didn’t find anything particularly good.

Exiting like this would result in significant losses.

“Level Nine Skill – Thousand Poisons Adhere to the Blade!”

In the end, Lu Yu chose the ninth-level skill “Thousand Poisons Attach to Soldiers.”

The Thousand Poison Affliction Art allows the user to imbue their star weapon with a thousand different deadly toxins, transforming the star weapon into a poison-infused weapon!

The poison of the Poisonous Soldier is lethal even to experts of the Demon Lord and Star Lord levels. Moreover, when facing an Overlord, the Thousand Poison Gathering Technique can restrict one-tenth of the Overlord’s abilities. Such a skill is undoubtedly something many would love to have.

But compared to the venom of the Poisonous Dragon, it is like comparing clouds to mud!

He doesn’t need it, but he can sell it.

It’s a profit as long as we exchange for five Blue Planet Souls.

Lu Yu selected the skills and exited.

Then, once again, he cast a hundred demonic bodies into the fray, crushed the Blue Star Soul, and surged forward.

But this time, Lu Yu found himself standing on a rocky ground.

Above the stone ground, only a single star cast down a beam of light, enveloping Lu Yu within it.

Beyond the stone ground, everything was darkness.

Even when the eyes look beyond the beam of light, there is only darkness, not allowing even a hint of visibility.

Lu Yu was alarmed and thought to himself, “This isn’t the space within the Celestial Deity System!”

Lu Yu stretched out his hand, trying to reach through the beam of light.

As Lu Yu’s hand was about to touch the edge of the light beam, the stars in the sky suddenly emitted a loud “buzz” and began to vibrate violently.

An invisible force has descended, sealing Lu Yu inside the beam of light.

However, Lu Yu’s hand moved very quickly, already extending beyond the beam of light.

“Roar!”

In the boundless darkness, a pair of colossal eyes, like shining stars, suddenly opened. Two beams of light pierced through the darkness, shining directly onto Lu Yu.

Nothing could be seen in the darkness except the beam of light.

However, Lu Yu only felt something bite down on the hand he had extended.

“Crack!”

Lu Yu’s arm bled profusely as he broke free from the beam of light.

Lu Yu instinctively pulled back his hand, looking at his arm in terror. The arm was severed at the wrist, and the cut surface was covered with dense bite marks.

He couldn’t feel the breath, or even know what had bitten him.

However, his physical form was so powerful that even a Supreme Sovereign of the First Order could not injure him.

It’s hard for a battle-worn axe to split the bones of a king.

However, what existed in this darkness that could so easily bite through his arm?

This power is even more terrifying than a star artifact!

Lu Yu’s arm was broken, and those eyes also vanished.

Lu Yu indeed felt as if he had plunged into an ice cellar.

Suddenly, a premonition struck him—around him, countless terrifying lives were asleep!

“The Demon King System is activated—” a voice echoed in Lu Yu’s ears.

Immediately afterwards, a list of forty-eight items appeared on the row of screens in front of Lu Yu.

At the very top of the screen, there is some information about the Tumo system.

These written symbols formed words in Lu Yu’s mind, allowing him to understand the message.

The more Lu Yu read, the more alarmed he became, and he sucked in a breath of cold air.

There was surprise, but even more joy!

The activation of the Demon King System is subject to certain limitations.

The so-called loophole mentioned by the Celestial Organization is merely one of the methods to access the Demon King System.

However, the Star Lord-level Unified Demon System can gain access through vulnerabilities.

The system above is not that easy to access.

Moreover, once a person activates the Demon Control System, the system will only be accessible to that individual.

Unless the person is dead, the system will never be reopened to anyone else.

In other words, the Celestial Deity Organization can at most obtain items from the Demon-Control System activated by five demon bodies; anything beyond that will no longer be attainable.

From today on, this magical system belongs to him alone!
