A life recovery speed of one billion per second!
Lu Yu did a quick calculation: ten seconds amounted to ten billion.
Just one minute of recovery would restore 60 billion, equivalent to two-thirds of his current maximum health.
With this maximum life value combined with the recovery rate, along with the damage absorption capability of the Phantom Spirit Soul Sphere.
It would be hard for the Demon King to kill him!
However, Lu Yu suppressed all the ecstatic joy and roaring emotions within his heart, his expression remaining completely unchanged.
This made it impossible for the Devil King to discern exactly how many transformations he had undergone!
Entering the Dragon’s Nest, he didn’t know what gains the Demon Lord would achieve.
But at least his own gains are invaluable!
The Sea of Blood’s voice turned cold as he said, “Now that the test is over, it’s time for us to move forward.”
Several demon lords nodded together.
Here, they really didn’t want to stay even one second longer!
Traveling through this vast dragon’s nest without obstacles like gorges, the group quickly arrived in front of the second treasure mountain.
Star Spirit Stones of level eight and nine were piled up like mountains.
The lowest-ranked Star Soldiers are all at least eighth level, with piles of various gold decorations and unidentified items stacked like mountains.
Xie Ming stared at a blue stone the size of an egg and exclaimed in shock, “There’s actually a piece of Blue Star Soul here!”
Several Night Demons fixed their gaze on the blue stone and exclaimed in unison, “What? Could it actually be a Blue Star Soul!”
Xie Ming nodded slightly toward the robed figure in black, his voice deep and firm. “I want this piece of Blue Star Soul. Help me get it!”
As he spoke, he had already released a faint black aura that enveloped the Blue Planet’s soul.
At this moment, the man in the black robe stepped forward, picked up the Soul of Blue Star, and handed it to Xie Ming.
Xie Ming glanced at it, laughed得意ly, and placed the Soul of Blue Star into the backpack he had brought.
The group, including Huang Ying, quickly began searching around.
However, they helplessly discovered that there was only one piece of the Blue Planet’s Soul here!
The Night Demon and Li Hun took a ninth-level star weapon, while the Blood Sea took an unnamed mine.
However, Huowu and Huangying did not take any action.
Huang Ying could only sigh softly as she failed to locate the Soul of Blue Star again. She felt somewhat helpless and angry that Xie Ming had obtained the Soul of Blue Star.
Lu Yu’s heart stirred, and he asked Huang Ying, “I know the Blue Planet’s Soul is special, but could it be that even the Demon Lord values it so much?”
Huāngyǐng nodded and said solemnly, “For the Demon Lord, our abilities have already reached their peak; progressing further is extremely difficult. However, attributes extracted from the Blue Planet’s Soul can be superimposed without regard to this peak. If a powerful level-nine item could add several hundred billion or even hundreds of billions of attributes, and we extract and incorporate them into ourselves, do you think that amount would be small? One fragment of the Blue Planet’s Soul could add several hundred billion, even hundreds of billions. Then how about ten?”
Lu Yu inhaled sharply through his teeth!
I finally realize how wasteful I used to be.
Lu Yu sold thousands of Star Spirit Stones to obtain the Soul of the Blue Star, which he then used to extract a weapon skill once.
That skill was practically useless to him now.
This damn thing, using the Blue Planet’s Soul at a level comparable to a Demon Lord, would result in an enhancement worth millions, even tens of millions of times its original value.
Spending money like water, really damn extravagant!
Fortunately, he had not used the remaining Blue Planet Soul.
However—
Lu Yu thought of Xiao Xiao, that girl who always took things first and then wrote an IOU.
Oh girl, whatever you do, don’t use it.
Lu Yu immediately looked at Xiao Xiao, who had also heard Huang Ying speak and noticed Lu Yu staring at him.
Xiao Xiao pretended not to see Lu Yu and gently shook her head.
Lu Yu finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Even the Demon Lord took such serious measures to claim a piece of the Blue Star Soul, wasting a precious opportunity to obtain a treasure. Its value had been underestimated by himself.
It seems that the Soul of the Blue Star can only be used after reaching the peak of the ninth level.
After gathering everything in this area, the group stood in front of the giant dragon at the center of Baoshan.
The formation was activated, carrying everyone to another location once again.
Lu Yu felt that this should be the way to go deep underground. In this area, the dragon bones on the dome stretched for twenty thousand zhang!
The giant dragons coiled around each stone pillar were also twenty thousand zhang long.
On some stone pillars, the coiled dragons have already begun to display distinct dragon scales.
Lu Yu could see that some of the giant dragons had scales with a faint silver hue, some were fiery red, and others were black!
The Desolate Shadow said, “The third area—this should be the region where the Dragon’s Nest barely approaches the core. The two levels above are merely the habitats of ordinary dragons. The dragons here have already begun evolving into different dragon species!”
Lu Yu asked in confusion, “Different dragon species? Do you mean the different attributes of the dragon race?”
Huāgyǐng nodded and said, “That’s right. For example, the dragons in this region have stronger silver-colored defenses. The black dragon breath already carries poison. And the fiery red ones can spew dragon breath with the power of flames!”
As he spoke, Huang Ying looked at Lu Yu with a meaningful gaze, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Lu Yu’s expression shifted slightly as he said, “Doesn’t that mean the next area might have dragons that are entirely silver or black?”
The shadowy figure chuckled lightly and said, “You could say that. Deep within the Dragon’s Nest, the dragons grow even stronger. For instance, evolving toward silver dragons or flame dragons happens naturally. However—”
The shadowy figure paused and said, “Within the Dragon’s Nest, there is only one dragon species that has truly fully evolved, and that is the Dragon King! If any other dragon species fully evolves, achieving a pure silver or pure crimson color, it must either leave the Dragon’s Nest to establish its own dominion or defeat the current Dragon King within the nest to become the new Dragon King!”
Lu Yu stared at the desolate shadow, his voice deep and heavy: “Are you saying there’s a Dragon King within every dragon’s nest?”
To others, Lu Yu was shocked by the secret news of the dragon’s nest.
However, only Huaying understood what Lu Yu was trying to say.
Lu Yu was asking her if he should take the Dragon King’s body with him.
Look at the surroundings — countless dragons, even the Demon Lord has to be so cautious. Making a move against the Dragon King would surely result in certain death, leaving not even a whole corpse behind?
Huang Ying shook her head with a coquettish laugh, which served as her response to Lu Yu’s words.
Stepping into the third zone, there was no test encountered.
Led by Xue Hai, a group of people traversed the desolate land. Apart from the towering stone pillars reaching up to the sky and giant dragons coiled around them, there was absolutely nothing else in sight.
Lu Yu was walking when suddenly a figure ahead of him vanished!
At this moment, the others also noticed.
Xie Ming’s voice turned deep and grim: “Where is the Lord of Slaughter?”
The Sea of Blood shouted loudly, “糟糕,大家注意了,看来这一区域是重叠领域了。”
“What, this is a restriction that should only appear after the fourth area. How come it’s here?”
Just as the Sea of Blood was speaking, Xie Ming also vanished.
Several demon lords were astonished!
Following that, Huo Wu and Xiao Xiao also disappeared one after another.
Huāgyǐng spoke urgently, “Be careful inside the overlapping domain; within, the dragon clan’s restrictions don’t apply, and the Demon Lord can strike.”
Just as Huang Ying still had words left to say, Lu Yu suddenly found himself in darkness, and when he opened his eyes, he was standing on a desolate rocky plain.
This was exactly the spot where he had just been standing, only now all the people around him had vanished.
The giant dragon on the stone pillar still remains, and the scenery hasn’t changed at all!
Lu Yu recalled what Huang Ying had just said, his heart sank, and he asked in his mind, “What exactly is going on here?”
Lu Yu walked forward without any problem.
“Overlapping realms,” Lu Yu muttered to himself. “Could it be a space similar to the Star Burial Grounds? Do I need to break through here to return to the original world?”
Lu Yu said, clenching his right fist and powerfully throwing it forward.
Now his strength has reached up to ten billion, and the power of this punch surges forth like a flood of raging torrents.
Vroom!
The fist force vibrated through the void, without leaving the slightest crack or obstruction.
“Is this not the right method?”
Lu Yu said in a low voice, walking towards the stone pillar.
His hand touched the stone pillar, and he found that the pillar was also real. The giant dragon above, though dead, still exuded its lingering dragon might, which was no illusion either.
Lu Yu walked slowly across the barren land, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings as he pondered a way to escape from this place.
Lu Yu walked on like this for nearly ten kilometers. A few hundred meters ahead, a human figure suddenly appeared.
This person was tall in stature and was also walking with his head bowed.
“Who’s ahead?” Lu Yu shouted loudly, quickened his pace, and then chased after the person.
Lu Yu was extremely fast. He caught up with the man in just a few steps and then reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
He swung his hand and slapped, and his palm passed right through the person’s body.
Lu Yu staggered and almost fell over!
Figures were still moving, passing through Lu Yu like ghosts, seemingly unaware of his presence!
Lu Yu got a clear look at the person, and it was indeed one of the individuals with the dragon clan’s aura—Gao Hong.
Lu Yu frowned and said, “So this is what overlapping space means. We can see each other, but cannot make contact? Then, how can one leave? Oh, wait—there’s a certain probability of being seen by others, yet we remain unaware of their existence?”
He stopped, watching as Gao Hong walked further and further away, but this time, he did not chase after.
Lu Yu closed his eyes to sense the differences around him, searching for even the slightest clue.
However, as his eyes closed, he didn’t sense any change; instead, his entire body’s hair suddenly stood on end!
Boom!
In the empty space behind Lu Yu, a pair of giant hands tore through the darkness and forcefully pressed down on Lu Yu’s back.
Vroom!
The power from this giant hand surpassed that of a ninth-level Star Soul, striking Lu Yu with an overwhelming force that could crush anything in its path.
Bang!
The power surged from the big hand.
Lu Yu was hurled into the air like a leaf.
“Boom!”
Behind Lu Yu, a torrent of murderous intent and battle aura surged like a flood or tsunami, completely engulfing this space.
A voice sneered cruelly, “Lu Yu, don’t think I don’t know that you’ve hidden your Star Soul. Don’t forget, I exist for slaughter—how could I not sense the murderous aura on you? Moreover, you actually managed to block my attack. It seems they were right. That’s the Grade 6 Silver Dragon Armor!”
Lu Yu flipped in midair, and as his body landed, he saw a figure in the distance who had already removed their black robe. Before him stood a figure, entirely black yet covered in blood-red markings.
This man’s eyes were as red as if they were dripping with blood.
This—without a doubt—is the Lord of Slaughter!
Lu Yu’s star soul within his body was involuntarily triggered and erupted under the influence of the red glow in that pair of eyes.
Lu Yu’s eyes also turned blood red, and the cold, murderous intent and fighting spirit within him surged violently.
“Several generations ago, the Demon Lord of Slaughter stole the true Blood Eye from the Slaughter Heir, and now I will take the Blade of Slaughter from that very Heir!”
