Chapter 265: Conflict

The atmosphere in Huaxia is tense!

Many people were staring at the sea surface, and if any ship dared to enter the Huaxia territory, it would certainly trigger a major war.

On the seventh day, when darkness fell upon the land of China.

On the horizon, three ships appeared. Under the cover of night, when the three ships reached the small city before the coast, it still remained unknown.

The night was very quiet!

Thousands of people disembarked from the ships in silence the moment they set foot on the shore.

Boom!

From within the crowd, the Star Lord’s aura erupted, instantly shattering all life within the central pit of the city!

“Au!”

Thousands of people rushed into the small city, attacking buildings and wielding their weapons at pedestrians in the streets.

The small city was drenched in blood, and within less than an hour, not a single person survived.

By the time someone arrived, it was already too late.

“Looking for death!”

The Star Lords were furious.

These people are really daring!

In broad daylight, they committed robbery and murder, even destroying that small city.

Several star masters may be enemies in ordinary times.

But at this moment, even the deepest hatred can be set aside temporarily!

Three star masters joined forces, using their teleportation powers to reach directly to the sea.

Even though these people have just left, they couldn’t have gone too far.

Moreover, there were three ships as well.

Many people gathered along the shore, eagerly watching and waiting to see how many bodies the three Star Lords would bring back.

Half an hour later, above the small town, a blood-soaked body plummeted straight down.

Someone caught it and found the body in their hands already battered beyond recognition, as if it had been gnawed on by countless wild beasts.

However, this person is still alive, with their flesh and blood undergoing a difficult reorganization process—it’s very slow!

“Damn it, we’ve been ambushed, there’s a Demon King here.” The Star Lord said with difficulty, roaring in不甘心 frustration.

The pirates were not just one person. The Star Lord who landed on the shore was merely a decoy, intended to lure out the martial arts experts from Huaxia.

This is a provocation!

People were angry, yet helpless.

The enemy has already deployed both Star Lords and Demon Lords. Without someone at the Star Lord level going, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Some were angry, while others felt indignant.

China not only has the Supreme, but also Star Lords like Lu Yu. What are they thinking?

“Perhaps they are all waiting,” someone sighed.

At Lu Yu’s level, one does not easily become angry over a single city.

“No, it’s just not the right time yet. There’s still a month left; facing the three Zun, they need time to wait!”

Many people looked at the ruined small city, then left in silence.

On the land of Huaxia, another city has vanished, leaving behind only more hatred!

In the skies over Huaxia, among the satellites still powered by solar energy, a few people observed a scene from the sea, one hundred miles away from the ruined city.

“What, what is going on here?”

Several observers could not bear to watch directly; some with slightly weaker willpower had already covered their mouths and started vomiting!

There, it had become a veritable hell on earth!

Above the sea surface, which is invisible from the land at this moment, three ships are not sailing. Blood flows from the decks of the ships into the sea like springs.

Three ships, as if having lost their helmsman, drifted aimlessly on the ocean’s surface.

Three ships were littered with corpses; each body was covered in blood and flesh, and not a single one remained intact.

These are the dead, and a part of those who are still alive—

The people in this group are watching their companions die one by one. They are trembling, kneeling on the ground under immense pressure, desperately trying to stand up but failing.

A white skeleton stands atop a boat, using one bony hand to seize a living person, while the other hand swiftly tears open the person’s chest, ripping out all the flesh and blood from within.

The man struggled painfully, his hands desperately gripping the bony arm, his fingernails even breaking off, yet he could not free himself from that giant hand.

The white bones had no flesh or blood. The lower jaw of the white skeleton moved slightly, producing a chilling cracking sound that made one’s hair stand on end.

Bai Gu pried open the chest of the corpse, pulled out the blood-soaked heart, and then kept shaking his head and threw it away, saying, “This one isn’t good either!”

Bai Gu threw down the corpse and dropped the heart in his hand to the ground.

Such a scene was extremely bloody.

The people on the boat had already seen it countless times.

They wanted to resist but found it completely impossible.

Because not far away, a person whose entire body looked as if it had been slashed a thousand times was standing there, some of the wounds on his body already infested with maggots.

That was no longer a human being, but more like a walking corpse. However, the moment this corpse boarded the ship, a force comparable to that of a supreme being came down to suppress it.

No, this power even surpasses the Sovereign.

There were a total of five Demon Lords and one Star Lord aboard the ship.

At the moment the corpse boarded the ship, the five martial arts experts seemed to be paralyzed, trembling all over and losing all ability to resist.

“To think that the last Yuan Demon I killed wasn’t actually the last one!” The corpse spoke with a grin, its smile extremely terrifying.

“What a pity, I don’t like the body of the original demon.” The corpse spoke, and a finger pierced straight into the original demon’s forehead.

This is a tiger-headed Yuanmo with long fur gradually turning gray and withering. Moreover, the flesh and skin of this creature are also drying up and aging. Eventually, sections of its body turn to ash and vanish with the sea breeze.

The wounds on this corpse have started to show some dead flesh peeling away, and some of the lighter injuries have even begun to close.

The corpse grinned and said, “Lu Yu, I’ve been waiting for you. When you reach the Five Venerables’ power, your body will finally belong to me.”

“No good, this heart won’t work either. If I can’t produce flesh and blood, how can you replace your bones?” The white bones chuckled and said, “Hurry up and finish your business, then come help me.”

No one would witness this eerie scene on the sea surface.

After all, no one would have imagined that someone could easily slay several Star Lord–level experts!

During this period, an expert of such a high level would not appear easily.

Both sides are preparing for a war that they are determined to win!

Not many people knew what had happened at sea, but the existence of those two strange individuals was classified as top secret.

Because of the destruction of this small city, some coastal cities in China have strengthened their defenses!

However, the harassment continued.

Fanggang was also near the coast. On the eighth day after Wang She issued his order, two Star Lords appeared in the sky above this city.

The terrifying auras released by the two individuals surged like a tsunami, sweeping through this small city.

But the next moment, the two suddenly looked down in terror, quickly suppressing their auras before vanishing in an instant.

Out of a warrior’s instinct.

In this city, there are experts they cannot afford to provoke.

For the next ten days, the coastal cities of Huaxia became battlefields.

Constantly, new Demon Lords and Star Lords emerge, causing city after city to be destroyed in battles.

Some people from coastal cities began to evacuate, while some star masters started to enter.

Until one day, two demon lords descended upon a demon city.

This time, it provoked the anger of a million demonic clans and the Demon King.

Although they outwardly ally with humans, the Demon King has no desire to intervene as long as they are not provoked.

And now, the enemy has actually begun invading the Magic City.

For the Demon King, the Demon City is their dignity, embodying the will that as long as the city stands, they shall stand.

This battle destroyed the illusion of the Demon City, with more than half of it reduced to ruins, and hundreds of thousands of demons turned into blood-soaked mud.

This demon lord fought against two opponents at once and eventually won after a hard-fought battle.

He raised the two severed heads toward the sky and roared.

The enemy had gone too far, so he had no reason to hold back either.

The next day, after his wounds had healed, he took a single step forward and entered the void.

That afternoon, he dragged back the body of a Xingzhu.

With the Demon King’s involvement, some cities in Japan have also begun to be attacked, which only intensifies the friction between the two sides!

Such frictions grew increasingly intense, eventually involving two experts who had reached the peak of their star master limits.

Such battles unfolded in the central waters between Huaxia and Japan, where immense forces triggered tsunamis, impacting coastal regions of both countries.

In this battle, neither side gained any advantage, and in the end, both sides became more restrained.

Time, only seven days left.

Mingzun arrived at Fanggang and found Lu Yu among mountains of starling stones and piles of starling pearls.

Two hundred million spirit stones—an astonishing amount. Even the Dark Sovereign hadn’t expected Lu Yu to seize so many.

“You—” when the Spirit King saw Lu Yu, he felt that something was somewhat off!

On Lu Yu, he felt some unusual aura, yet he couldn’t tell exactly where it was coming from.

“Is it almost time?” Lu Yu had not paid any attention to the time these days.

Every second and every moment seemed to pass too quickly in his eyes.

“The Meteor Battlefield has already been built. I’ll take you there to have a look.” Ming Zun was still scrutinizing Lu Yu as he spoke in a deep voice: “Do you have confidence in blocking the Nine-headed King Snake?”

“It’s not a problem for a short period of time. As long as he dares to step into the Meteor Battlefield, I can keep him occupied for a while,” Lu Yu nodded confidently.

The Dark Sovereign gazed at Lu Yu and sighed, “If you had been born in my era, you might have become a prodigy sought after by numerous factions. Unfortunately, in this era, you’ve been given far too little time.”

Lu Yu smiled without saying a word.

He followed the Lord of the Netherworld to the Meteor Battlefield. Under the Lord’s guidance, he learned some of the rules of this place, as well as the location of the exit.

This is a vast and boundless land, with countless stars shimmering in the sky.

There are no mountains, no grasslands; this place is desolate beyond imagination.

However, at Lu Yu’s feet, there lay a scene of ruins.

The Supreme One said, “There were once countless flourishing cities within the Meteor Battlefield. Unfortunately, all the cities in this battlefield were destroyed overnight, and even the people within vanished without a trace. No one knows exactly what happened; many have tried to investigate, but no conclusions were ever reached. From that day forward, this place was abandoned. Every time it is opened again, it merely becomes an alternative arena, used by true powerhouses as a battleground for their duels.”

Lu Yu looked at the battlefield and laughed, saying, “Once they come in, I guarantee that not even an army of a million will remain—only Wang She will be left!”

“Don’t force yourself. If you can’t hold on, just retreat,” Mingzun looked at Lu Yu and sighed. “In the past, this king snake wouldn’t have been much of a challenge for your guardian!”

“Uh!” Lu Yu was startled. The news was too shocking.

The Hydra, which rivals six Sovereigns, was actually defeated by the guardian of the God of Slaughter. That’s absolutely terrifying.

Lu Yu was shocked, but quickly shook off some strange thoughts in his mind and said, “I think I can prepare a few more things during this period of time.”

Lu Yu has already accumulated a level-nine killing intent, and it’s time to use it.
