Bai Zhan doesn’t recognize him, but Ming Zun does!
Because that was a powerful life form from the era of the Sovereign of the Underworld.
The photo depicts an enormous giant snake with nine heads, its massive body occupying an entire city.
Its length was at least fifty thousand zhang, and its body extended like a mountain range.
Around the Hydra, countless snakes of various kinds were piled up like mountains.
There was no other life in the city; on the buildings, on the ruins, all that could be seen were snakes.
Even the Hydra was coiled with giant snakes of various patterns, densely entangled together in a mass of serpents.
Even after witnessing countless battles, Lian Bai felt his scalp tingle with unease.
When the Lord of the Netherworld spoke the name of the nine-headed serpent, even Bai Zhan turned his gaze toward him.
The Supreme Spirit continued, “Back then, the Six Great Supremes had already slain it together. How has it come back to life?”
A Demon Lord was so shocked that he choked on his breath and stared with wide eyes, stammering, “Wha… what? Six Sovereigns joining forces?”
“What kind of monster is this? It can’t be this terrifying.”
After a hundred battles, he still couldn’t calm himself. Staring intently at the Hydra, he said in a deep voice, “Back then, you truly killed it?”
The Lord of the Netherworld said solemnly, “That’s right. Back then, the six of us joined forces and shattered every single head of this serpent. It could not have been a mistake.”
“How could it still be alive?”
The demon lords stared at the photo, unable to calm themselves.
A person of the Yama Lord’s rank does not speak falsely.
However, it was precisely because the words spoken by someone of this rank were truthful that they could not remain calm!
The dead, why have they come back to life?
Bai Zhan’s voice turned grave as he asked, “Then do you know the origin of this serpent’s head?”
“He was someone I brought out from the Domain of Chaos,” said the Spirit King. “Back then, when I entered the Domain of Chaos, this serpent had not yet fully grown. I thought I could tame it, so I brought it out and kept raising it. However, as it grew, it became completely uncontrollable, and eventually even escaped from me. At that time, I realized something was wrong, so I continuously searched for it. When I finally found it again, I discovered its power had already reached the strength of nine Sovereigns! It turned out this creature could transcend levels and keep evolving and growing stronger without limit.”
Bai Zhan’s voice sank as he said, “The Demon Sovereign’s Domain—rumor has it that the beings there were once the true rulers of this land, completely uncontrollable! You actually dare to bring one out for a test?”
The Supreme Sage spoke coldly, “Don’t forget that the current demon race originated from the Unified Demon Realm long ago, and was finally marked with an indelible slave seal by you, leaving them no chance of redemption throughout eternity. I’m merely conducting my own experiment in my own way.”
Bai Zhan snorted coldly and was about to continue speaking.
The disabled Japanese man on the other side burst into laughter and said in fluent Chinese, “Idiot, idiot, a bunch of idiots! People from your country will never learn to unite. Are you going to start fighting now? Great, go ahead and fight! Let me enjoy a good show before I die!”
Lu Yu pulled up a chair, sat down in front of the Japanese man without ceremony, crossed his arms, and sneered, “You seem to really enjoy watching the commotion? Did you come here merely to watch the show?”
“Of course not,” the Japanese man said, raising an eyebrow. “I came here because of the challenge!”
“What challenge letter?” Lu Yu asked with a furrowed brow.
“Do you mean they didn’t tell you?” The Japanese man looked at the old man and said, “Oh, I see. He’s treating you as cannon fodder, preparing to send you out to die.”
The old man coughed and said, “This is why I have gathered you all here. The serpent’s declaration of war states that if we do not surrender within one month, it will descend upon this land and destroy China!”
“Surrender?” Upon hearing these words, Bai Zhan let out a grim laugh. “The demonic race never surrenders. We either die in battle or achieve victory! One month—it won’t even take a whole month. What the six Supreme Beings of that time failed to accomplish, I alone shall attempt to achieve today.”
Lu Yu, with a single powerful hand, grabbed the Japanese man by the neck and said, “Since you’ve come here to issue a challenge, I’ll take you back and make you witness with your own eyes as the nine heads of that serpent fall one by one!”
Bai Zhan grabbed the Japanese man by the neck with one hand, and with the other hand, shattered the void, disappearing atop the spire without even waiting a moment.
“Follow him!” As soon as the several Demon Lords saw this, they didn’t dare delay and followed down together.
The number of demons on the spire decreased by two-thirds in an instant.
“Fighting in a hundred battles and taking pride in battle itself, indeed he’s the type to fight first and talk later!” The冥尊 said solemnly, “Lu Yu, you wait here while I go have a look. Although Bai Zhan wields his battle-axe, if that snake is truly a Nine-Headed King Snake, he won’t gain the upper hand easily. I should go check things out; if something unexpected happens, I can bring him back. If that King Snake is indeed the one I killed, without six Sovereigns working together, there’s absolutely no way to suppress it!”
As the Sovereign of the Netherworld spoke, he also departed.
There is a map there; as long as the direction is correctly determined, it’s only a matter of time before moving there!
Above the spire, the two supreme beings had both departed, and the remaining Demon Lords were all familiar with Lu Yu.
For a moment, the atmosphere changed slightly.
For example, Qian She and another Demon Lord had personally witnessed Lu Yu merging with the Dragon King, so they clearly understood Lu Yu’s strength.
Huoyu and Huangying don’t need further explanation.
The five strongest individuals all seem to have some sort of connection.
Then the old man put away all the photos and said solemnly, “Lu Yu, I brought you here at the cost of one person’s head, not merely for you to look at these photographs. I want to inform everyone that Japan has already begun assembling its warriors and is preparing to strike against China.”
“Do you want me to take action?”
“No, your attack won’t work at all,” the old man said seriously. “Because on that island, there are also two Zun. These two Zun have tricked the Japanese into forming two legions and joined forces with Wang She!”
“Still, there is the Supreme One?”
Lu Yu was taken aback, and even Huo Wu and the others couldn’t help but feel greatly surprised!
Lu Yu speculated that if the world were like this, there must also be a Demon Lord in existence.
Surprisingly, a small country like Japan actually has three supreme-level experts.
That king cobra is actually taking on six opponents at once; this is absolutely amazing!
Another soldier spoke up at this moment: “This is not a war for ordinary people. Even the participation of the Star Master may not guarantee victory. This time, it’s not only the Japanese who have moved; several countries along the southern border have also begun to covet our territory.”
The old man said, “It will be a great battle. But an even bigger problem is that you certainly don’t know why the Demon Lord of a Hundred Battles withdrew when he charged into the Heaven’s Pit filled with strange cities!”
The old man reached into his robe and took out a somewhat blurred photograph, placing it on the table. He said, “Within the giant sinkhole still slumbers a monster, and judging from Bai Zhan’s expression when he retreated, it must be a supreme-level monster! This means that the star灵stone in the sinkhole was never meant for mining—it was used for sealing. Now the seal has been broken, and the sleeping monster is merely waiting for the right moment. Once war spreads across China, it will bring a catastrophe far more terrifying than the first calamity, possibly destroying all of China!”
Lu Yu looked at the photo and took a deep breath, saying, “Venomous Dragon!”
He was all too familiar with this giant dragon. The first time he commanded the魔领域, he had seen this dragon.
That said, that venomous dragon was still somewhat normal.
On the other hand, within the terrifying heavenly abyss, only a dragon’s head could be seen. Moreover, the black aura covering the dragon’s body was as solid as physical limbs, transforming into numerous tendrils that waved about inside the abyss.
The dragon’s head alone was already this enormous; its body was absolutely more than 100,000 zhang long.
Qian She solemnly said, “Those monsters didn’t stay in the occupied city because they were waiting—they were guarding it!”
“A long time ago, before my father sealed me away, he seemed to have told me that the darkness this time was different. If we could overcome it, perhaps we could gain eternal peace.” Looking at the venomous dragon’s head, Huowu murmured to herself, “When I awoke, my father was already dead. Could it be that they failed—not managing to conquer it, but merely sealing it away?”
“Therefore, I’ve asked you all here to discuss one critical issue: how we can destroy these monsters while they are still awakening, or even before they awaken at all,” the elder said solemnly. “China can’t withstand further upheaval. If we continue fighting like this, it will trigger crustal movements, and we might end up sinking just like Japan, or even breaking apart into smaller landmasses! You mighty cultivator lords might not fully grasp what this implies, but I believe Lu Yu understands. Think about how many cities would be destroyed and how many lives would be lost!”
Qianshe frowned and looked at Lu Yu. “To silently kill a Supreme-level life is impossible. And once such a monster awakens, especially the Venom Dragon, it will bring terror across thousands of miles, leaving nothing but desolation and death!”
He didn’t necessarily say these words to give advice. However, if it weren’t for the relationship between Huowu and Lu Yu, he wouldn’t have spoken this way either.
At this point, if the venomous dragon awakens from its slumber, the problem might no longer be just about a single dragon.
Another Demon Lord had remained silent until now, but at this moment, he spoke, saying, “If the battlefield were to be moved, it might not be impossible. I believe Demon Lords Huowu and Huangying know about the Meteor Battlefield, don’t you?”
Huowu’s eyes lit up as he said, “What you’re saying is, we move an entire city into the Meteor Battlefield!”
“Correct!” the Demon Lord nodded. “As long as this city reaches the Meteorite Battlefield, then as long as someone can hold the entrance to the Meteorite Battlefield, even the greatest calamity will have nothing to do with this land.”
“It’s well-intentioned. But—” Qian She said with a bitter smile, “if it were another Overlord, perhaps everyone could come up with some solutions. However, if it’s the Poisonous Dragon, things become difficult. Its most potent venom can even injure an Overlord upon contact; how can anyone withstand that?”
Huowu and Huangying rushed towards Lu Yu together.
Lu Yu frowned and asked, “How is that Meteor Battlefield set up?”
Huowu said, “That only requires the combined efforts of two Zun to set up.”
“Fine. Wait until Mingzun and Baizhan return; they will set up the Meteor Battlefield. Once the Poison Dragon awakens, you will teleport him inside. As for now—” Lu Yu stared at an island nation marked on the map, his voice cold, “wasn’t there something more important to handle before this?”
The old man’s expression changed slightly, and he said, “You also want to go?”
“With the Zun there, their war is indeed difficult to interfere with. However, I will still go. I may not be able to influence the great battle, but no one can stop me from destroying city after city.”
A cold, cruel smile flickered at the corner of Lu Yu’s mouth as he said, “What I lack, I shall start searching for right there!”
