Chapter 228: Extorting the Demon Lord (2)

Lu Tianming wanted to make a sound, but the bones in his throat were already nearly crushed, making it impossible for him to utter a voice.

He stared at Lu Yu, as if cursing him, damning that little bastard!

Lu Yu pretended not to see it at all and continued smiling: “I forgot, you can’t make any sound now! If you agree, just nod your head; if not, shake it!”

Lu Tianming shook his pale face, which was tinged with purple, and clenched his teeth, refusing to yield.

“Fine then, just wait here for death!” Lu Yu said coldly with a faint smile, tightening his grip once again.

The Sea of Blood could no longer bear to watch. If things continued like this, Lu Tianming would surely die sooner or later.

But if he takes action, he will be breaking his promise.

He agreed to this duel, so he should have known that one side would die.

He thought it would be Lu Yu, so he didn’t stop them.

But now the situation seems to be turning against him.

The Sea of Blood could wait no longer; even if it meant breaking a promise, Lu Tianming had to be saved.

Xue Hai clenched his teeth and took a step forward, already prepared and ready.

“Oh, the Blood Sea Demon Lord wants to make a move?” Lu Yu, seeing Blood Sea approaching him, shook the Lu Tianming in his hand and said, “Hmm? Is the Blood Sea Demon Lord really going to break his promise? Tsk tsk, you’re truly disgraceful; you don’t even deserve to be the Demon Lord!”

The Sea of Blood said in a deep voice: “Lu Yu, release Lu Tianming. You can have anything you want. But you cannot kill this person!”

Lu Yu sneered coldly, “Sorry, but I want every last member of the Lu family dead, so I’m afraid I can’t fulfill that request!”

Xue Hai gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, “Then what is it that you want?”

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said after a moment’s thought, “How about this: if you give me six skeletons of level-nine lives, I might consider sparing Lu Tianming for now!”

Lu Yu indeed wanted to kill Lu Tianming.

But Lu Tianming only had one life, ready to be taken at any moment.

But what he needed now was not only to kill the members of the Lu family, but more importantly, to strengthen his own combat power.

Already at the ninth level of Star Soul, he was about to reach the peak of Star Soul cultivation. However, certain skills, such as the Indestructible Body, required advancement to the ninth level, yet he was still six levels away from achieving that.

As long as I myself don’t die, isn’t it possible to kill members of the Lu family whenever I want?

“What, six skeletons of ninth-level lives?” This remark startled even the Sea of Blood.

What would an ordinary person want with the bones of a ninth-life being?

Moreover, there were six of them, which made the Blood Sea even more hesitant.

Seeing Blood Sea hesitate, Lu Yu tightened his grip again: “If you disagree, then get ready to collect Lu Tianming’s corpse. I want six skeletons, and I want them now, not a debt to be paid later.”

Lu Tianming’s tongue had already started to loll out, his eyes beginning to “bulge” as his face turned almost entirely purple.

That’s how it was; Lu Tianming still gritted his teeth,宁愿死也不愿改变姓氏，也不想失去自己的骄傲。

The Sea of Blood was about to take another step forward, but Lu Yu immediately stepped back, reaching the edge of the treasure mountain. He chuckled and said, “Demon Lord Blood Sea, if you dare to make a move, I’ll smash Lu Tianming right into this treasure mountain, and then it’ll be a complete disaster for both of us!”

The Sea of Blood glanced at the giant dragon; no one could see his expression.

However, the various Demon Lords believed that the Sea of Blood was now truly on the verge of going berserk.

“Fine.” Xue Hai bit his teeth, spitting out the word with such ferocity that he seemed ready to devour Lu Yu whole.

“The market price has gone up now,” Lu Yu said with a smile. “I want not only six skeletons, but also ten drops of your blood!”

Xue Hai froze in shock, then roared, “Are you fucking kidding me? Do you dare to blackmail me!”

The Sea of Blood abandoned all pretense of decorum and let out a standard modern expletive!

Huang Ying rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: What is this supposed to be? Lu Yu is really too bold.

Huowu had been silent all along on the side, but now she could hardly contain her laughter any longer.

Lu Yu is blackmailing the Devil King, which makes him the first person in history to do so!

Xie Ming and the others felt a moment of dizziness; Lu Yu was actually bold enough to do this.

The price has risen too quickly.

Moreover, even the Nine Great Star Souls have never dared to blackmail the Demon Lord, yet Lu Yu actually dares to do so!

Lu Yu’s smile faded as he coldly said, “If you disagree, I’ll just add another ten or eight Grade Eight Spirit Stones later! Anyway, judging from your expressions, none of you plan to let me leave alive—so what do I have to fear?”

“You—you—” Xue Hai was almost mad, standing at the edge of losing control.

Lu Yu, this is just giving up completely, speaking in a tone that sounds utterly desperate.

But the expression on this guy’s face showed not the slightest sign of being driven to a dead end.

“Okay, okay, I’ll give it to you.” Xue Hai trembled all over as he said, “I’ll give it to you.”

“Pay first, then release the person!” Lu Yu continued, and as he spoke, he deliberately shook Lu Tianming, who was already unconscious and on the verge of suffocating to death.

“I’ll give it to you!” Xue Hai knew there was no time to wait any longer.

Normally, each Demon Lord would also carry a storage pearl on their person, used to store valuable items that might be needed or collected.

The Blood Sea was searching within the storage bead for six corpses of ninth-stage lives.

“I want one at the peak of level nine!” Lu Yu added another jump.

Xue Hai really wanted to throw the storage bead at Lu Yu’s face and let him choose it himself.

But he still restrained himself and then selected six sets of human bones.

These six corpses were remarkably well-preserved. It was unknown how long they had been dead, yet faint power fluctuations still emanated from their bodies, betraying their immense strength in life.

Then, Xue Hai took out a small bottle and gave ten drops of his blood to Lu Yu.

“Here you go.” Lu Yu threw the half-dead Lu Tianming towards the Sea of Blood.

Xue Hai immediately crouched down anxiously to check on Lu Tianming’s condition.

At this moment, Lu Tianming seemed to have somewhat recovered, though his breathing was still faint.

Lu Yu put away the small bottle, looked at the six skeletons before him, and knelt down with a very solemn expression. He earnestly kowtowed three times.

Whoever the six people were before their deaths.

However, Lu Yu was about to move the other party’s remains and should have shown them respect.

Then he no longer looked toward the Sea of Blood, not even glancing at the Black-robed Man or Xiaoxiao’s trial!

Six skeletons would be enough to perfect his immortal body!

When the first skeleton in front of Lu Yu transformed into a beam of light and entered his body, the several Demon Lords finally understood the reason why Lu Yu sought the bones.

Li Hun was alarmed and exclaimed, “No good! He’s using bones to cultivate his skills!”

Sha Lu was even more alarmed in his heart and shouted loudly, “We can’t let him continue absorbing any further.”

He had fought with Lu Yu before, and this young man was already capable of challenging him at the peak of the eighth level.

If Lu Yu, who now possesses a ninth-grade Star Soul, becomes even stronger, how will anyone stand a chance against him?

Lu Yu has already become the heir to the Dragon King. If he grows even stronger, he might ascend to become the Dragon King himself.

Moreover, the current situation clearly shows Lu Yu’s advantage, as he has already advanced to the sixth zone with just this one title.

If Lu Yu becomes even stronger, who within the Dragon’s Nest will still be able to suppress him?

As Xue Hai saw Lu Tianming slowly recover, he also stood up, ready to take action.

If the giant dragons awaken, they still have a chance to survive and strike back by joining forces.

But if Lu Yu grows up to become the Dragon King and reveals his ruthless side, they might barely have any chance of survival!

But at this moment, Lu Yu had already absorbed three bodies in a row, a speed that left people astounded.

When several people decided to take action, the six skeletons were completely absorbed in an instant.

When Lu Yu was at the Star Burial Ground, absorbing a skeleton took a great deal of time because his own cultivation level was too low.

This time was different; he had already reached the ninth level of Star Soul.

At the same level, absorption becomes exceptionally easy!

Lu Yu closed his eyes, watching his immortal body upgrade time and time again, a slight smile curling the corners of his mouth.

Several demon lords, realizing they had lost the chance to stop it, could only come to a halt.

The immortal body advanced directly from level three to level nine. Its attributes and abilities kept surging, and the speed of leveling up was astonishing.

Lu Yu had some expectations.

Because this would be his first skill to reach level nine!

The voice in Lu Yu’s mind began to carry a hint of joy as it said, “Congratulations, your Immortal Body has been enhanced to its peak. You now possess a truly immortal body, unlocking Reincarnation of the Dead, and the original auxiliary ability Erasure has been completed!”

Lu Yu’s heart tightened as he watched lines of blue text flickering before his eyes; he felt somewhat nervous.

Just how powerful is the first level 9 skill!

Lu Yu had only read a few lines, but he was already laughing wildly in his heart, secretly exclaiming, “Excellent! A ninth-level Immortal Body—not merely astonishing, but terrifyingly powerful!”

…

Immortal Body: The One and Only.

Level: Nine!

Attribute: Undead.

Description: The true immortal body possesses terrifying regenerative abilities. No matter how powerful a life form is, the damage it inflicts upon you cannot destroy your body or even your soul!

Ability: No attack from enemies can reduce your life. All damage from enemies will be fully transferred to your body. Each time your body is damaged, the extent of the damage will determine how much life points are consumed to repair your body.

Reincarnation of the Deceased—When your life reaches its end, you will accomplish reincarnation through a single drop of blood. Once reincarnation is complete, your maximum life will be restored to its upper limit, and all injuries will be completely erased.

…

All my previous skills have vanished, leaving me with nothing but this meager ability of Reincarnation of the Dead.

However, just this one skill alone made it difficult for Lu Yu to breathe.

The disappearance of the “Massacre Promotion” effect signifies that the ninth-level Immortal Body has attained power rivaling that of the Dragon Clan.

It’s even rarer for someone’s attributes to transform into Undead!

It was clearly described in the ability; as soon as he thought about it carefully, he understood, and it shocked Lu Yu even more!

The rebirth of spirits will absolutely instill terror in the enemy.

As described in the abilities, the damage takes full effect on the body. This means that when your body is injured, the more resilient your body is, the less damage you will sustain.

For example, in the past, when his body, at the level of a Demon Lord, was attacked by a powerful Demon Lord, the damage could not only destroy his physical form but also reduce his life force by billions or even tens of billions.

But now, the enemy’s damage can only destroy the body, without reducing life.

His health points are used to repair his body, reducing the corresponding amount of health points. As long as his health points don’t drop to zero, no matter how little health remains—even just a single drop—he can重生 infinitely.

At first glance, these all seem like a waste of life.

However, don’t forget, how much can the body repair itself?

That’s not all.

Part of his memories also seemed to have been unlocked in his mind.

Among them, Lu Yu saw some skills related to the reincarnation of the deceased.

Among the powerful abilities of resurrection, the third-ranked one is the rebirth of the deceased. Restoring a completely shattered body requires approximately 500 million life points. Even if a formidable life form is reduced to a single drop of blood, this ability can still revive it.

Rebirth from a single drop of blood probably requires about ten billion life points.

He now has six thousand billion hit points. How many times can this allow him to reincarnate?
